 *
 * {{{
 * echo $this->Session->flash('flash', array('params' => array('class' => 'new-flash')));
 * }}}
 *
 * The above would generate a flash message with a custom class name. Using $attrs['params'] you
 * can pass additional data into the element rendering that will be made available as local variables
 * when the element is rendered:
 *
 * {{{
 * echo $this->Session->flash('flash', array('params' => array('name' => $user['User']['name'])));
 * }}}
 *
 * This would pass the current user's name into the flash message, so you could create personalized
 * messages without the controller needing access to that data.
 *
 * Lastly you can choose the element that is rendered when creating the flash message. Using
 * custom elements allows you to fully customize how flash messages are generated.
 *
 * {{{
 * echo $this->Session->flash('flash', array('element' => 'my_custom_element'));
 * }}}
 *
 * If you want to use an element from a plugin for rendering your flash message you can do that using the
 * plugin param:
 *
 * {{{
 * echo $this->Session->flash('flash', array(
 *		'element' => 'my_custom_element',
 *		'params' => array('plugin' => 'my_plugin')
 * ));
 * }}}

 * @param array $attrs Additional attributes to use for the creation of this flash message.
