    # Provides a number of methods for turning different kinds of containers into a set of option tags.
    # == Options
    # The <tt>collection_select</tt>, <tt>country_select</tt>, and <tt>select</tt> methods take an <tt>options</tt> parameter, a hash.
    #
    # * <tt>:include_blank</tt> - set to true if the first option element of the select element is a blank. Useful if there is not a default value required for the select element.
    #   select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {:include_blank => true})
    #
    # Could become:
    #
    #   <select name="post[category]">
    #     <option></option>
    #     <option>joke</option>
    #     <option>poem</option>

      # Create a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the provided object and method.
      # The option currently held by the object will be selected, provided that the object is available.
      # 
      # This can be used to provide a default set of options in the standard way: before rendering the create form, a
      # new model instance is assigned the default options and bound to @model_name. Usually this model is not saved
      # to the database. Instead, a second model object is created when the create request is received.
      # This allows the user to submit a form page more than once with the expected results of creating multiple records.
      # In addition, this allows a single partial to be used to generate form inputs for both edit and create forms.

      # where the elements respond to first and last (such as a two-element array), the "lasts" serve as option values and
      # the "firsts" as option text. Hashes are turned into this form automatically, so the keys become "firsts" and values
      # become lasts. If +selected+ is specified, the matching "last" or element will get the selected option-tag.  +Selected+
      # may also be an array of values to be selected when using a multiple select.
