Description
-----------
This module defines the "hierarchical_select" form element, which is a much
enhanced way for letting the user select an option in a hierarchy. Out of the
box, this module implements the hierarchical_select hooks for the taxonomy
(which automatically includes support for the forum module) and
content_taxonomy modules. It also converts hierarchical taxonomy exposed
filters in any View to a hierarchical select.

Any module that uses a select form element, of which the options are ordered
hierarchically, can take advantage of this new form element. Especially when
there's a deep hierarchy, or when there are a lot of options in each sublevel,
this form element greatly simplifies the user's search for the right option. 

Note that it does not support the selection of multiple options!
