=head1 DESCRIPTION
A module modeled a bit after Rails' ActionView helpers. Several small
=back
For cases 3 and 4 C<$attributes{value_key}> defaults to C<id>,
-C<$attributes{title_key}> defaults to C<$attributes{value_key}>
-and C<$attributes{default_key}> defaults to C<selected>.
+C<$attributes{title_key}> defaults to C<$attributes{value_key}> and
+C<$attributes{default_key}> defaults to C<selected>. Note that
+C<$attributes{default_key}> is set to C<undef> if
+C<$attributes{default_value_key}> is used as well (see below).
In addition to pure keys/method you can also provide coderefs as I<value_sub>
and/or I<title_sub> and/or I<default_sub>. If present, these take precedence over keys or methods,
this element can be set with the option C<empty_title> and defaults to
an empty string.
-The option C<default> can be either a scalar or an array reference
-containing the values of the options which should be set to be
-selected.
-
The tag's C<id> defaults to C<name_to_id($name)>.
+The option C<default> can be quite a lot of things:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 1. A scalar value. This is the value of the entry that's
+selected by default.
+
+=item 2. A hash reference for C<multiple=1>. Whether or not an entry
+is selected by default is looked up in this hash.
+
+=item 3. An array reference containing scalar values. Same as 1., just
+for the case of C<multiple=1>.
+
+=item 4. If C<default_value_key> is given: an array reference of hash
+references. For each hash reference the value belonging to the key
+C<default_value_key> is treated as one value to select by
+default. Constructs a hash that's treated like 3.
+
+=item 5. If C<default_value_key> is given: an array reference of
+blessed objects. For each object the value returne from calling the
+function named C<default_value_key> on the object is treated as one
+value to select by default. Constructs a hash that's treated like 3.
+
+=back
+
+5. also applies for single RDBO instances (due to 'wantarray'
+shenanigangs assigning RDBO's relationships to a hash key will result
+in a single RDBO object being assigned instead of an array reference
+containing that single RDBO object).
+
If the option C<with_optgroups> is set then this function expects
C<\@collection> to be one level deeper. The upper-most level is
translated into a HTML C<optgroup> tag. So the structure becomes:
