how to use form stretch items and spacer items?

Is there an example of how to use the 'optional field controls' and 'spacer items' that are spelled out in the docs under the ?items argument for certain layout creation functions like hiCreateHorizontalBoxLayout?  Basically I'd like to stick with relative sizing only for a form that has several levels of nested layouts, and I'd like to specify the relative stretch factors of various fields within a certain layout, much like you would do in Qt.  The 'optional field controls' sound promising but I can't figure out how you actually implement that in code.

    This may actually be the same question: can you specify what percentage of a layout is taken up by a given field, with those percentages / proportions preserved as the form is resized?  Can you specify a minimum or maximum size for a given field, also to be preserved as the form is resized?
