"""Support for polymorphic models and queries.

The Model class on its own is only able to support functional polymorphism.

It is possible to create a subclass of Model and then subclass that one as

many generations as necessary and those classes will share all the same

properties and behaviors.  The problem is that subclassing Model in this way

places each subclass in their own Kind.  This means that it is not possible

to do polymorphic queries.  Building a query on a base class will only return

instances of that class from the Datastore, while queries on a subclass will

only return those instances.

This module allows applications to specify class hierarchies that support

polymorphic queries.

  Use this class to build hierarchies that can be queried based

  on their types.

  Example:

    consider the following model hierarchy:

      +------+

      |Animal|

      +------+

        |

        +-----------------+

        |                 |

      +------+          +------+

      |Canine|          |Feline|

      +------+          +------+

        |                 |

        +-------+         +-------+

        |       |         |       |

      +---+   +----+    +---+   +-------+

      |Dog|   |Wolf|    |Cat|   |Panther|

      +---+   +----+    +---+   +-------+

    This class hierarchy has three levels.  The first is the "root class".

    All models in a single class hierarchy must inherit from this root.  All

    models in the hierarchy are stored as the same kind as the root class.

    For example, Panther entities when stored to the datastore are of the kind

    'Animal'.  Querying against the Animal kind will retrieve Cats, Dogs and

    Canines, for example, that match your query.  Different classes stored

    in the root class' kind are identified by their class-key.  When loaded

    from the datastore, it is mapped to the appropriate implementation class.

  Polymorphic properties:

    Properties that are defined in a given base-class within a hierarchy are

    stored in the datastore for all sub-casses only.  So, if the Feline class

    had a property called 'whiskers', the Cat and Panther enties would also

    have whiskers, but not Animal, Canine, Dog or Wolf.

  Polymorphic queries:

    When written to the datastore, all polymorphic objects automatically have

    a property called 'class' that you can query against.  Using this property

    it is possible to easily write a GQL query against any sub-hierarchy.  For

    example, to fetch only Canine objects, including all Dogs and Wolves:

      db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Animal WHERE class='Canine'")

    And alternate method is to use the 'all' or 'gql' methods of the Canine

    class:

      Canine.all()

      Canine.gql('')

    The 'class' property is not meant to be used by your code other than

    for queries.  Since it is supposed to represents the real Python class

    it is intended to be hidden from view.

  Root class:

    The root class is the class from which all other classes of the hierarchy

    inherits from.  Each hierarchy has a single root class.  A class is a

    root class if it is an immediate child of PolyModel.  The subclasses of

    the root class are all the same kind as the root class. In other words:

      Animal.kind() == Feline.kind() == Panther.kind() == 'Animal'

    name in the datastore from what is used in Python code.  This is useful,

    for example, for renaming classes without having to migrate instances

    class Contact to SimpleContact, you could convert:
