Incorrect. FormCell is a subclass of Cell. If you make a custom Cell  
class, you also have to make a custom View object to contain it. Then you  
set the +cellClass of the View class to be your cell. Actually, this is  
not bad general advice, because most of the interesting stuff happens  
inside Cells anyway. By pushing most intelligence there, you can drag out  
incredibly smart Matrices with clever Cells inside.
