    // allowed to survive here:
    // - always_process: Does not make sense in conjunction with form caching
    //   in the first place, since passing form_build_id as a GET parameter is
    //   not desired.

    //   page request.

  // - User input, if any, gets incorporated in the #value property of the

  // - Validation and submission handlers are called.
  // - If this submission is part of a multistep workflow, the form is rebuilt
  //   to contain the information of the next step.
  // - If necessary, the form and form state are cached or re-cached, so that
  //   appropriate information persists to the next page request.
  // All of the handlers in the pipeline receive $form_state by reference and
  // can use it to know or update information about the state of the form.

  // another page, or back to this page, but as a new request. Therefore, if
  // we're here, it means that this is either a form being viewed initially
  // before any user input, or there was a validation error requiring the form
  // to be re-displayed, or we're in a multi-step workflow and need to display
  // the form's next step. In any case, we have what we need in $form, and can
  // return it for rendering.
