Comment

Generate a set of inputs for `$fields`. If $fields is null the current model
will be used.

In addition to controller fields output, `$fields` can be used to control legend
and fieldset rendering with the `fieldset` and `legend` keys.
`$form->inputs(array('legend' => 'My legend'));` Would generate an input set with
a custom legend. You can customize individual inputs through `$fields` as well.

{{{
$form->inputs(array(
'name' => array('label' => 'custom label')
));
}}}

In addition to fields control, inputs() allows you to use a few additional options.

- `fieldset` Set to false to disable the fieldset. If a string is supplied it will be used as
the classname for the fieldset element.
- `legend` Set to false to disable the legend for the generated input set. Or supply a string
to customize the legend text.

@param mixed $fields An array of fields to generate inputs for, or null.
@param array $blacklist a simple array of fields to not create inputs for.
@return string Completed form inputs.
