 *
 * **Events**
 *
 * #### Event: `changed`
 *

 *
 * ```js

 * });
 * ```
 * 
 * #### Event: `deleted`
 * 
 * Emitted after an individual model has been deleted.
 *
 * ```js
 * MyModel.on('deleted', function(inst) {
 *   console.log('model with id %s has been deleted', inst.id);
 *   // => model with id 1 has been deleted
 * });

 * #### Event: `deletedAll`

 * Emitted after an individual model has been deleted.
 *
 * ```js

 *     // => all models where

 *   }
 * });
 * ```
 * 
 * #### Event: `attached`
 * 
 * Emitted after a `Model` has been attached to an `app`.
 * 
 * #### Event: `dataSourceAttached`
 * 
 * Emitted after a `Model` has been attached to a `DataSource`.
