/**
 * Collect info about available field-based synonym behavior implementations.
 *
 * Hook to collect info about what PHP classes implement provided synonyms
 * behavior for different field types. If you to create synonyms behavior
 * implementation backed by some field type, this hook is for you. Information
 * from this hook will be post-processed based on existing fields and instances
 * and then inserted into hook_synonyms_behavior_implementation_info().
 *
 * @param string $behavior
 *   Name of a synonyms behavior. This string will always be among the keys
 *   of the return of synonyms_behaviors(), i.e. name of a cTools plugin
 *
 * @return array
 *   Array of information about what synonyms behavior implementations your
 *   module supplies. The return array must contain field types as keys, whereas
 *   corresponding values should be names of PHP classes that implement the
 *   provided behavior for that field type. Read more about how to implement a
 *   specific behavior in the advanced help of this module. In a few words: you
 *   will have to implement an interface that is defined in the behavior
 *   definition. Do not forget to make sure your PHP class is visible to Drupal
 *   auto discovery mechanism
