Backport Appearance Handler to 2.x

[Maruan Sahyoun <sa...@fileaffairs.de>]

Hi,

I'm looking at backporting the appearance handler approach from 3.0 to 2.x for appearances and also introduce that for
interactive forms as that has proven to be a good approach.

Given that some of the founding APIs for that changed in 3.0 there might be small differences.

IMHO as creating the appearance is not a public API in 2.x (or 3.x) there shouldn't be any issue with that.

WDYT? Am I missing something?

+1

I also don't see that it would break the API. It may be tricky to port 
all the annotation handling code. If successful, then it would be great 
because I think we're doing that better that part than several other 
projects.
