/**
 * Improved version to go beyond the current model (joins) to populate dropdowns
 * downpoint if recursive is too high by default: too many other table entries read out as well!!! to -1 before, if only one table is needed!
 * Important: Needs full Model.field setup and containable/recursive set properly! otherwise query might fail
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * $config = array(
 *   'fields' => array($Model->alias . '.first_name', $Model->alias . '.last_name'),
 *   'pattern' => '%s %s'
 * );
 *
 * Note: With cake2.x and virtual fields this is not that much needed anymore, but can
 * still be quite helpful if you want to simply concatinate fields of a query without
 * leveraging the db layer.
 *
 * The most important advantage over the db layer is that you can use custom PHP callbacks to insert
 * specific content into the values.
 *
 * It is best to attach this behavior dynamically prior to the find(list) call:
 *
 * $Model->Behaviors->load('Tools.MultipleDisplayFields', $config);
