You're really just inventing a half-baked Magritte now. Do
yourself a favor and use the real thing. Magritte is far more
descriptive and far less verbose than anything you have yet
presented. Magritte also already knows how to automatically create both
seaside and morphic forms out of a field description. It also
knows more ways to look up a field than just selector and block.
