  # = CouchRest::Model - ORM, the CouchDB way
  #  
  # CouchRest::Model provides an ORM-like interface for CouchDB documents. It
  # avoids all usage of <tt>method_missing</tt>, and tries to strike a balance
  # between usability and magic. See CouchRest::Model#view_by for
  # documentation about the view-generation system.
  #  
  # ==== Example
  #  
  # This is an example class using CouchRest::Model. It is taken from the
  # spec/couchrest/core/model_spec.rb file, which may be even more up to date
  # than this example.
  #  
  #   class Article < CouchRest::Model
  #     use_database CouchRest.database!('http://localhost:5984/couchrest-model-test')
  #     unique_id :slug
  #
  #     view_by :date, :descending => true
  #     view_by :user_id, :date
  #
  #     view_by :tags,
  #       :map => 
  #         "function(doc) {
  #           if (doc['couchrest-type'] == 'Article' && doc.tags) {
  #             doc.tags.forEach(function(tag){
  #               emit(tag, 1);
  #             });
  #           }
  #         }",
  #       :reduce =>

  #           return sum(values);

      # valid options for CouchRest::Database#view. In addition, calling with
      # the <tt>:raw => true</tt> option will return the view rows
      # themselves. By default <tt>Post.by_date</tt> will return the
      # documents included in the generated view.
      #  
      # CouchRest::Database#view options can be applied at view definition
      # time as defaults, and they will be curried and used at view query
      # time. Or they can be overridden at query time.
      #  
      # Custom views can be queried with <tt>:reduce => true</tt> to return
      # reduce results. The default for custom views is to query with
      # <tt>:reduce => false</tt>.
      #  
      # Views are generated (on a per-model basis) lazily on first-access.
      # This means that if you are deploying changes to a view, the views for
      # that model won't be available until generation is complete. This can
      # take some time with large databases. Strategies are in the works.
      #
