+1 supporting DenesL argument. (but we already know this)
note.
default.
breaks app.
we like the feature
but it shouldn't break an app
no reason to have to specifically DISABLE something that hasn't
existed in web2py before ( you know, the empty select or "please
choose a value" breaks my app which is why I'm still running pre-1.70
codebase )
The only reason that it defaults to zero='' is because the person who
originally requested it needed that.
Their only argument was THEY needed it so it should default to it just
for THEIR convenience while everyone else is subjugated to having to
DISABLE a NEW feature.
