  // Process parses the form data from the request into the passed value, which
  // must be a pointer to a struct.
  //
  // Form keys are assumed to be the field names unless a 'form' tag is provided
  // with an alternate name, for example, in the following struct, the int is
  // parse with key 'A' and the bool is parsed with key 'C'.
  //
  //	type Example struct {
  //		A int
  //		B bool `form:"C"`
  //	}
  //
  // Two options can be added to the form tag to modify the processing. The
  // 'post' option forces the processor to parse a value from the PostForm field
  // of the Request, and the 'required' option will have an error thrown if the
  // key in not set.
  //
  // Number types can also have minimums and maximums checked during processing
  // by setting the 'min' and 'max' tags accordingly.
  //
  // In a similar vein, string types can utilise the 'regex' tag to set a
  // regular expression to be matched against.
  //
  // Anonymous structs are traversed, but will not override more local fields.
  //
  // Slices of basic types can be processed, and errors returned from any such
  // processing will be of the Errors type, which each indexed entry
  // corresponding to the index of the processed data.
  //
  // Pointers to basic types can also be processed, with the type being allocated
  // even if an error occurs.
  //
  // Lastly, a custom data processor can be specified by attaching a method to
  // the field type with the following specification:
  //
  // ParseForm([]string) error.
