This almost works for me - it fails if you have additional models
called in the $uses array of the controller. Cake ends up putting the
name of the first model in the uses at the front of those form field
names.
So if I have another model called ListItem which I use to pull generic
list items into controllers, when I do Chater[0][paragraph][0][field],
it outputs ListItemChapter[0][paragraph][0][field] as the name
property for the form element.
