A behavior modifies the way any model that uses it works, and/or
effectively adds methods to a model as if they were defined /in/ the
model.
E.g.
1)
https://trac.cakephp.org/browser/branches/1.2.x.x/cake/libs/model/behaviors/acl.php?rev=5132#L92
This method will automatically create an ARO/ACO whenever you insert a
new row in the associated table (e.g. you save your new user, and they
get added automatically to your ACL system)
2)
https://trac.cakephp.org/browser/branches/1.2.x.x/cake/libs/model/behaviors/tree.php?rev=5132#L142
This method is called as $noOfChildren = $this->ModelName-
>childcount(); from a controller, for any model that has that
behavior. The method childcount does not exist /in/ the model code,
it's in the behavior.
