[Woody] name for element containing child widgets
Lets pick a name for for the element containing child widgets.
Off the top of my head, I remember these names being offered:
children, items, widgets
Other suggestions are welcome of course. What name do we all like?
This will apply to at least the AggregateField, Repeater, Union,
Struct, and Class widgets, and possibly to others in the future.

oops, "form definition" instead of "report definition".

yes it does. We were looking at things from the point of the report
definition, where the RepeaterRow isn't explicitely mentioned as a
widget.

oops,
I thought there was an ongoing exercise of listing which widgets have
this 'container' behaviour,
so I thought RepeaterRow should be added to the list, and I was
doubthing if Repeater still needs to be in there?
hope this clears out the induced confusion?

Not following here... you want to rename Repeater to RepeaterRow?

I prefer repeater (it is shorter, clear and I am very lazy to write Row on
every Repeater ;-D

+1 for "widgets". "children" doesn't seem appropriate to me as, in the
case of a repeater, the widgets are not the direct children of the
repeater (these are the rows).

Currently only "children" is in use I think, but "widgets" seems better
to me. Which one do you prefer?
