/**
 * @file
 * This is an example demonstrating how a module can define custom form 
 * elements.
 * 
 * Form elements are already familiar to anyone who uses Forms API. Examples 
 * of core form elements are 'textfield', 'checkbox' and 'fieldset'. Drupal 
 * utilizes hook_elements() to define these FAPI types, and this occurs in 
 * the core function system_elements().
 * 
 * Each form element has a #type value that determines how it's treated by 
 * the Form API and how it's ultimately rendered into HTML. hook_elements() 
 * allows modules to define new element types, and tell the Form API what 
 * default values they should automatically be populated with.
 *
 * By implementing hook_elements in your own module, you can create custom 
 * form elements with their own properties, validation and theming.
 *  
 * In this example, we will define a phone number field that is expanded 
 * into several text fields for area code, phone number and extention, each 
 * of which is validated.
