@class RLMObject, RLMResults<RLMObjectType>, RLMDictionaryChange;

/**
 `RLMDictionary` is a container type in Realm representing a dynamic collection of key-value pairs.

 Unlike `NSDictionary`, `RLMDictionary`s hold a single key and value type.
 This is referred to in these docs as the “type” and “keyType” of the dictionary.

 When declaring an `RLMDictionary` property, the object type and keyType must be marked as conforming to a
 protocol by the same name as the objects it should contain.

     RLM_COLLECTION_TYPE(ObjectType)
     ...
     @property RLMDictionary<NSString *, ObjectType *><RLMString, ObjectType> *objectTypeDictionary;

 `RLMDictionary`s can be queried with the same predicates as `RLMObject` and `RLMResult`s.

 `RLMDictionary`s cannot be created directly. `RLMDictionary` properties on `RLMObject`s are
 lazily created when accessed, or can be obtained by querying a Realm.

 ### Key-Value Observing

 `RLMDictionary` supports dictionary key-value observing on `RLMDictionary` properties on `RLMObject`
 subclasses, and the `invalidated` property on `RLMDictionary` instances themselves is
 key-value observing compliant when the `RLMDictionary` is attached to a managed
 `RLMObject` (`RLMDictionary`s on unmanaged `RLMObject`s will never become invalidated).

#pragma mark - Notifications

/**
 Registers a block to be called each time the dictionary changes.

 within the dictionary.

 The `changes` parameter will be `nil` the first time the block is called.
 For each call after that, it will contain information about
 which keys in the dictionary were added, modified or deleted. If a write transaction
 did not modify any keys or values in the dictionary, the block is not called at all.

 If an error occurs the block will be called with `nil` for the results
 parameter and a non-`nil` error. Currently the only errors that can occur are
 when opening the Realm on the background worker thread.

 Notifications are delivered via the standard run loop, and so can't be
 delivered while the run loop is blocked by other activity. When
 notifications can't be delivered instantly, multiple notifications may be
 coalesced into a single notification. This can include the notification
 with the initial results. For example, the following code performs a write
 transaction immediately after adding the notification block, so there is no
 opportunity for the initial notification to be delivered first. As a
 result, the initial notification will reflect the state of the Realm after
 the write transaction.

     Person *person = [[Person allObjectsInRealm:realm] firstObject];
     NSLog(@"person.dogs.count: %zu", person.dogs.count); // => 0

 The frozen copy is an immutable dictionary which contains the same data as this
 dictionary currently contains, but will not update when writes are made to the
 containing Realm. Unlike live dictionaries, frozen dictionaries can be accessed from any
 thread.

 @warning This method cannot be called during a write transaction, or when the
          containing Realm is read-only.
 @warning This method may only be called on a managed dictionary.
 @warning Holding onto a frozen dictionary for an extended period while performing
          write transaction on the Realm may result in the Realm file growing
          to large sizes. See `RLMRealmConfiguration.maximumNumberOfActiveVersions`
          for more information.
