 * Create a named vanilla JavaScript class constructor with an attached
 * set of properties and options.
 *
 * This function comes with two variants:
 *  * `loopback.createModel(name, properties, options)`
 *  * `loopback.createModel(config)`
 *
 * In the second variant, the parameters `name`, `properties` and `options`
 * are provided in the config object. Any additional config entries are
 * interpreted as `options`, i.e. the following two configs are identical:
 *
 * ```js
 * { name: 'Customer', base: 'User' }
 * { name: 'Customer', options: { base: 'User' } }
 * ```
 *
 * **Example**
 *
 * Create an `Author` model using the three-parameter variant:
 *
 * ```js
 * loopback.createModel(
 *   'Author',
 *   {
 *     firstName: 'string',
 *     lastName: 'string'
 *   },
 *   {
 *     relations: {
 *       books: {
 *         model: 'Book',
 *         type: 'hasAndBelongsToMany'
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * );
 * ```
 *
 * Create the same model using a config object:
 *
 * ```js
 * loopback.createModel({
 *   name: 'Author',
 *   properties: {
 *     firstName: 'string',
 *     lastName: 'string'
 *   },
 *   relations: {
 *     books: {
 *       model: 'Book',
 *       type: 'hasAndBelongsToMany'
 *     }
 *   }
 * });
 * ```
 *
 * @param {String} name Unique name.
 * @param {Object} properties
 * @param {Object} options (optional)
 *
 * @header loopback.createModel
