Maybe I don't know PHP well enough, but it's not very clear to me...
Would setting $showEmpty to a non-false value do the same thing as
setting one of the $options array parts with a key of $empty?  If so,
that's what I'm using to denote "this part of the form hasn't been
filled in," as a separate semantic meaning to "this part has been
filled in, and the user specifically says that none of the available
options applies."

So does CakePHP have a built-in way for me to make a distinction
between these two things, or should I continue with my own
idiosyncratic way of doing it?  As I said before, I'm pretty confident
I can get the distinction to work the way I was going to go about it,
but if there's a generally agreed upon way of doing it, I'd rather do
it the same way as everyone else for the sake of easily maintainable
code rather than going off and doing my own thing.

Thanks,
Zoe.
