+/**
+A `MigrationChain` indicates the sequence of model versions to be used as the order for incremental migration. This is typically passed to the `DataStack` initializer and will be applied to all stores added to the `DataStack` with `addSQLiteStore(...)` and its variants.
+
+Initializing with empty values (either `nil`, `[]`, or `[:]`) instructs the `DataStack` to use the .xcdatamodel's current version as the final version, and to disable incremental migrations:
+
+    let dataStack = DataStack(migrationChain: nil)
+
+This means that the mapping model will be computed from the store's version straight to the `DataStack`'s model version.
+To support incremental migrations, specify the linear order of versions:
+
+    let dataStack = DataStack(migrationChain: 
+        ["MyAppModel", "MyAppModelV2", "MyAppModelV3", "MyAppModelV4"])
+
+or for more complex migration paths, a version tree that maps the key-values to the source-destination versions:
+
+    let dataStack = DataStack(migrationChain: [
+        "MyAppModel": "MyAppModelV3",
+        "MyAppModelV2": "MyAppModelV4",
+        "MyAppModelV3": "MyAppModelV4"
+    ])
+
+This allows for different migration paths depending on the starting version. The example above resolves to the following paths:
+- MyAppModel-MyAppModelV3-MyAppModelV4
+- MyAppModelV2-MyAppModelV4
+- MyAppModelV3-MyAppModelV4
+
+The `MigrationChain` is validated when passed to the `DataStack` and unless it is empty, will raise an assertion if any of the following conditions are met:
+- a version appears twice in an array
+- a version appears twice as a key in a dictionary literal
+- a loop is found in any of the paths

-The `ManagedObjectListController` monitors changes to a list of `NSManagedObject` instances. Observers that implement the `ManagedObjectListChangeObserver` protocol may then register themselves to the `ManagedObjectListController`'s `addObserver(_:)` method:

-
-The `ManagedObjectListController` instance needs to be held on (retained) for as long as the list needs to be observed.
-Observers registered via `addObserver(_:)` are not retained. `ManagedObjectListController` only keeps a `weak` reference to all observers, thus keeping itself free from retain-cycles.
-
-Lists created with `observeObjectList(...)` keep a single-section list of objects, where each object can be accessed by index:
-
-    let firstPerson: MyPersonEntity = listController[0]
-
-Accessing the list with an index above the valid range will throw an exception.
-
-Creating a sectioned-list is also possible with the `observeSectionedList(...)` method:
-
-    let listController = CoreStore.observeSectionedList(
-        From(MyPersonEntity),
-        SectionedBy("age") { "Age \($0)" },

-Objects from `ManagedObjectListController`'s created this way can be accessed either by an `NSIndexPath` or a tuple:
-
-    let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forItem: 3, inSection: 2)
-    let person1 = listController[indexPath]
-    let person2 = listController[2, 3]
-
-In the example above, both `person1` and `person2` will contain the object at section=2, index=3.
