yeeees! I really like this feature. For example, people who want to 
override the way, say, a String input box is rendered for a formless UI 
rendered with gtk2form (freeform, too, probably), can implement an 
alternative IStringWidget implementor, put it in their own 
AdapterRegistry, and stick it on the context. Then their own widget will 
be used instead of the default, without touching anything in gtk2form.
