<?php
/**
 * @file
 * Enables extremely simple adding/removing features to your site with minimal to no configuration.
 *
 * It works by reading a pattern file and then creating a form which contains already the values for
 * specific elements. The form is then validated and submitted, exactly as the 'submit' button was
 * pressed from the browser window.
 *
 * The following steps (operations) are performed sequentially:
 *
 * * Preparation Phase
 * -------------------
 *
 *  - 'prepare':      - Transform the patterns tags into the actual element of the form to be submitted.
 *                    - Add eventual standard values which are missing (this makes writing the pattern
 *                      easier and more synthetic).
 *                    - No errors are raised here.
 *
 *  - 'validate':      - Validate the data for the form_id and raise errors, if any.
 *
 *
 * * Batch Phase
 * -----------------
 *
 * - 'callbacks'      - Return the array of functions that need to be called sequentially in later stages.
 *                      Those functions which are among the form_ids returned by hook_patterns() will be
 *                      treated as form functions, while others will be treated as regular callback functions.
 *
 * - 'build':         - Get the form data for the action. This can either just be the form values, or
 *                      it can be the full //form_state object//.
 *
 * - 'params':        - Get any extra parameters required by the form function.
 *
 *
 * * Execution Phase
 * -----------------
 *  drupal_form_submit() is called. The arguments are supplied to the form (is it is expects extra arguments)
 *  and the data is passed to the form callback.
 *
 *
 * - 'cleanup':       - cleanup operations are performed, if any.
 *
 *
 * * Post Batch
 * ---------------
 *
 * // NOT USED NOW: Check if we need it later
 * - 'identifiers':    - ????? Get any primary identifiers from the action for further actions to take advantage of
 *
