FormInput
^^^^^^^^^

The ``FormInput`` view helper is used to render a ``<input>`` HTML form input tag.
It acts as a base class for all of the specifically typed form input helpers
(FormText, FormCheckbox, FormSubmit, etc.), and is not suggested for direct use.

It contains a general map of valid tag attributes and types for attribute filtering.
Each subclass of ``FormInput`` implements it's own specific map of valid tag attributes.
