+      # Returns <tt><select></tt>, <tt><optgroup></tt> and <tt><option></tt> tags for the collection of existing return values of

+      # * +collection+ - An array of objects representing the <tt><optgroup></tt> tags.

+      # * +option_key_method+ - The name of a method which, when called on a child object of a member of
