 `NSManagedObject` subclasses that conform to the `ImportableUniqueObject` protocol can be imported from a specified `ImportSource`. This allows transactions to either update existing objects or create new instances this way:
 ```
 class MyPersonEntity: NSManagedObject, ImportableUniqueObject {
     typealias ImportSource = NSDictionary
     typealias UniqueIDType = NSString
     // ...
 }
 
 CoreStore.beginAsynchronous { (transaction) -> Void in

     let person = try! transaction.importUniqueObject(
         Into(MyPersonEntity),
         source: json
     )
     // ...
     transaction.commit()
