Options

options([value => label])	the choices, in this order
placeholder('…')	label of the empty first option (default “—”)

Plus the options of every field.

Option values must not contain commas (they end up in an in_list[…] rule); options() throws an InvalidArgumentException otherwise. Labels are escaped.

For a few options that should all be visible use a Radio; for several values a CheckboxList; for records of another table a BelongsTo.
