Detailed Description

Form content as dictionary expecting a single value per field.

If you only expect a single value for each field, then form[key]
will return that single value.  It will raise an IndexError if
that expectation is not true.  If you expect a field to have
possible multiple values, than you can use form.getlist(key) to
get all of the values.  values() and items() are a compromise:
they return single strings where there is a single value, and
lists of strings otherwise.
