     *
     * The following fields are always retrieved:

     *
     * If you plan to use properties/methods course_in_list::$summary and/or

     * you can preload this information using appropriate 'options'. Otherwise
     * they will be retrieved from DB on demand and it may end with bigger DB load.
     *
     * Note that method course_in_list::has_summary() will not perform additional
     * DB queries even if $options['summary'] is not specified
     *
     * List of found course ids is cached for 10 minutes. Cache may be purged prior
     * to this when somebody edits courses or categories, however it is very
     * difficult to keep track of all possible changes that may affect list of courses.

     * @param array $options options for retrieving children
     *    - recursive - return courses from subcategories as well. Use with care,
     *      this may be a huge list!
     *    - summary - preloads fields 'summary' and 'summaryformat'
     *    - coursecontacts - preloads course contacts
     *    - sort - list of fields to sort. Example
     *             array('idnumber' => 1, 'shortname' => 1, 'id' => -1)
     *             will sort by idnumber asc, shortname asc and id desc.
     *             Default: array('sortorder' => 1)
     *             Only cached fields may be used for sorting!
     *    - offset
     *    - limit - maximum number of children to return, 0 or null for no limit
     *    - idonly - returns the array or course ids instead of array of objects
