The method signature for a mapped method is slightly different * than a normal behavior mixin method. * * {{{ * var $mapMethods = array('/do(\w+)/' => 'doSomething'); * * function doSomething($model, $method, $arg1, $arg2) { * //do something * } * }}} * * The above will map every doXXX() method call to the behavior. As you can see, the model is * still the first parameter, but the called method name will be the 2nd parameter.
