Impossible to get form name within connect()

When writing a component, you may need the form name, but not anything else. This is completely impossible. The only way is to use something like formValues(''), like so:

export default formValues('')(connect((state, props) => ({
  getFormAsyncErrors: getFormAsyncErrors(props._reduxForm.form)(state)
}))(MyComponent));

I can't always know the name of my form, can I? We've gor a million different forms, and a component, that might not be a Field, must be reusable within any form. Simple as that.

The above is a hack to achieve this. There is no other way to get to the form name within the connect() call. There should be a proper way to do this.

Other information

Sorry to be short, but I just wasted 1,5 hours of fiddling around to figure out how to get the damn form name. It shouldn't be so hard. Also, I'm delibrately not issuing this as a feature request, because getting the form name is so utterly basic, that it probably just needs to be exposed, possibly by exporting withReduxForm.

If you set your form name by passing a 'form' prop into your form component, rather than via reduxForm({form: 'xxx'}), it will be available from props within connect((state, props) => {})
