=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Macro::FormField
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Renders an instance of a Form object.
=head2 process( $session, $type, $field_name [, $default_value, @form_constructor_arguments ] )
C<$type> is one of the L<WebGUI::Form::Control> subclasses in L<WebGUI::Form::>.
C<$field_name> is the name the field will be given in the HTML "name" attribute.
C<$default_value> is the currently selected value to use for the form field if no GET/POST parameter or field of the
current asset of the same name has a value.
A form posted form parameter of the same name as the C<$field_name>, if present, will be used instead of the default.
Failing that, an attribute of the current asset of the same name, if present, will be used instead of the default value.
C<@form_constructor_arguments> get passed to the L<WebGUI::Form> subclass constructor.
