Another possibility is using consistent function names for forms. This is how I removed the index of update functions that used to exist in update.php, I required the update function names to follow a pattern and finding all of them was done easily.

This is probably a tricky one; I tend towards the expressiveness of lookup tables and arbitrary function names rather than strict naming conventions, but I realize that I might be in the minority. ;) I wanted to use <form_id>_builder() or <form_id>_form() as our standard 'constructor' function names, but the use of <form_id>() ultimately won out a while back. --Jeff
