 * - `action` The controller action the form submits to, (optional). Use this option if you
 *   don't need to change the controller from the current request's controller.
 * - `url` The URL the form submits to. Can be a string or a URL array. If you use 'url'
 *    you should leave 'action' undefined.
 * - `encoding` Set the accept-charset encoding for the form. Defaults to `Configure::read('App.encoding')`
 * - `templates` The templates you want to use for this form. Any templates will be merged on top of
 *   the already loaded templates. This option can either be a filename in App/Config that contains
 *   the templates you want to load, or an array of templates to use. You can use
 *   resetTemplates() to restore the original templates.
 * - `context` Additional options for the context class. For example the EntityContext accepts a 'table'
 *   option that allows you to set the specific Table class the form should be based on.
 * - `idPrefix` Prefix for generated ID attributes.
 *
 * @param mixed $model The context for which the form is being defined. Can
 *   be an ORM entity, ORM resultset, or an array of meta data. You can use false or null
 *   to make a model-less form.
 * @param array $options An array of html attributes and options.
