ICustomForm interface

The form-class counterpart to ICustomControl. Custom form classes — top-level windows that host other custom controls — implement this interface instead. The shape is identical to ICustomControl except that the Initialize callback receives a CustomFormContext (which extends CustomControlContext with Show and Close) rather than a plain CustomControlContext.

WaynesForm, the package’s only concrete form class, does in fact implement ICustomControl and cast its context to CustomFormContext internally — the ICustomForm interface is published for parity with ICustomControl but is not currently consumed by any class shipped with the package.
