    # The Date Helper primarily creates select/option tags for different kinds of dates and date elements. All of the select-type methods
    # share a number of common options that are as follows:
    #
    # * <tt>:prefix</tt> - overwrites the default prefix of "date" used for the select names. So specifying "birthday" would give 
    #   birthday[month] instead of date[month] if passed to the select_month method.
    # * <tt>:include_blank</tt> - set to true if it should be possible to set an empty date.
    # * <tt>:discard_type</tt> - set to true if you want to discard the type part of the select name. If set to true, the select_month
    #   method would use simply "date" (which can be overwritten using <tt>:prefix</tt>) instead of "date[month]".

      # Returns a set of select tags (one for year, month, and day) pre-selected for accessing a specified date-based attribute (identified by
      # +method+) on an object assigned to the template (identified by +object+). It's possible to tailor the selects through the +options+ hash, 
      # which both accepts all the keys that each of the individual select builders does (like :use_month_numbers for select_month) and a range
      # of discard options. The discard options are <tt>:discard_month</tt> and <tt>:discard_day</tt>. Set to true, they'll drop the respective
      # select. Discarding the month select will also automatically discard the day select. 
      #
      # NOTE: Discarded selects will default to 1. So if no month select is available, January will be assumed. Additionally, you can get the 
      # month select before the year by setting :month_before_year to true in the options. This is especially useful for credit card forms.
