    # 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]".

      # the desired order. Symbols may be omitted and the respective select is not included.
