     * - `type` Form method defaults to autodetecting based on the form context. If
     *   the form context's isCreate() method returns false, a PUT request will be done.
     * - `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. Deprecated since 3.2, use `url`.
     * - `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 /config that contains
     *   the templates you want to load, or an array of templates to use.
     * - `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.
     * @return string An formatted opening FORM tag.
