+# Generates html markup to add form elements from the referrer page

+# Intended to support two types of use

+# form submission process using a breadcrumb trail.
+#
+# (b) to allow the current page to be reloaded with form elements
+# set on previous page to remain unchanged. An example would
+# be where the a page containing a dynamically-built table of data is
+# is to be redisplayed, with only the sort order of the data changed.
+#
+# Inputs:
+# 1. Reference to array of form elements in the submitted form on
+# the referrer page which are to be excluded from the echoed elements.
+#
+# 2. Reference to array of regular expressions, which if matched in the
+# name of the form element n the referrer page will be omitted from echo.
+#
+# Outputs: A scalar containing the html markup for the echoed form
+# elements (all as hidden elements, with values encoded).
