/**
 * @defgroup form_api Form generation
 * Functions to enable the processing and display of HTML forms.
 * Drupal uses these functions to achieve consistency in its form processing and
 * presentation, while simplifying code and reducing the amount of HTML that
 * must be explicitly generated by modules.
 *
 * The drupal_get_form() function handles retrieving, processing, and
 * displaying a rendered HTML form for modules automatically. For example:
 *
 * // Display the user registration form.
 * $output = drupal_get_form('user_register');
 *
 * Forms can also be built and submitted programmatically without any user input
 * using the drupal_execute() function.
 *
 * For information on the format of the structured arrays used to define forms,
 * and more detailed explanations of the Form API workflow, see the
 * @link http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api_reference.html reference @endlink
 * and the @link http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html quickstart guide. @endlink
 * Retrieves a form from a constructor function, or from the cache if
 * the form was built in a previous page-load. The form is then passesed
 * on for processing, after and rendered for display if necessary.
 *   The unique string identifying the desired form. If a function
 *   with that name exists, it is called to build the form array.
 *   Modules that need to generate the same form (or very similar forms)
 *   using different $form_ids can implement hook_forms(), which maps
 *   different $form_id values to the proper form constructor function. Examples
 *   may be found in node_forms(), search_forms(), and user_forms().
 * @param ...
 *   Any additional arguments are passed on to the functions called by
 *   drupal_get_form(), including the unique form constructor function.
 *   For example, the node_edit form requires that a node object be passed
 *   in here when it is called.
 * @return
 *   The rendered form.
