  """Subclass of Django ModelForm that fixes some label and help_text issues.

  The default behavior of ModelForm is to use the verbose_name in all
  lowercase, capitalizing only the first character, as the displayed field
  label.  This class uses verbose_name unaltered as the visible field label
  instead.

  The Property classes used by the App Engine Datastore do not have a
  help_text parameter to their constructor.  In a Model class, a help_text
  attribute *can* be added to the property after it is created, but the
  help text will not be automatically passed along to the Django ModelForm.
  This class detects the presence of a help_text attribute and adds it to
  the corresponding form field object.

  ugettext_lazy() proxies used for internationalization in the Model will
  still work correctly with this new behavior, as long as the original
  strings are used as the translation keys.
