Better using custom form controls

Hi,

I need very often use custom form controls (datepicker, antispam or some next for example) but if I can use in form I “must” create custom base form and extends Nette\Application\UI\Form or use a similiar code for register custom control (it is only example code, code is from a very old project and I'm not sure if is possible use in latest versions)

/**
 * @param string $name
 * @param string $class
 */
private function addExtension($name, $class)
{
	\Nette\Forms\Container::extensionMethod($name, function (\Nette\Forms\Container $container, $name, $label = null) use ($class) {
        return $container[$name] = new $class($label);
    });
}

It is bad in my opition. More better will be add method for add custom form controls.

Example:

$form = new Form();
// or some better name for method
$form->addControl('name', new MyInput('label', /*... some next arguments..*/))
    ->....

I would like heard your opinions about this…
