     * @class Ext.data.association.HasMany
     *
     * <p>Represents a one-to-many relationship between two models. Usually created indirectly via a model definition:</p>
     *
    <pre><code>
    Ext.define('Product', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        fields: [
            {name: 'id',      type: 'int'},
            {name: 'user_id', type: 'int'},
            {name: 'name',    type: 'string'}
        ]
    });

    Ext.define('User', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        fields: [
            {name: 'id',   type: 'int'},
            {name: 'name', type: 'string'}
        ],
        // we can use the hasMany shortcut on the model to create a hasMany association
        hasMany: {model: 'Product', name: 'products'}
    });
    </code></pre>
    *
     * <p>Above we created Product and User models, and linked them by saying that a User hasMany Products. This gives
     * us a new function on every User instance, in this case the function is called 'products' because that is the name
     * we specified in the association configuration above.</p>
     *
     * <p>This new function returns a specialized {@link Ext.data.Store Store} which is automatically filtered to load
     * only Products for the given model instance:</p>
     *
    <pre><code>
    //first, we load up a User with id of 1
    var user = Ext.create('User', {id: 1, name: 'Ed'});

    //the user.products function was created automatically by the association and returns a {@link Ext.data.Store Store}
    //the created store is automatically scoped to the set of Products for the User with id of 1
    var products = user.products();

    //we still have all of the usual Store functions, for example it's easy to add a Product for this User
    products.add({
        name: 'Another Product'
    });

    //saves the changes to the store - this automatically sets the new Product's user_id to 1 before saving
    products.sync();
    </code></pre>
     *
     * <p>The new Store is only instantiated the first time you call products() to conserve memory and processing time,
     * though calling products() a second time returns the same store instance.</p>
     *
     * <p><u>Custom filtering</u></p>
     *
     * <p>The Store is automatically furnished with a filter - by default this filter tells the store to only return
     * records where the associated model's foreign key matches the owner model's primary key. For example, if a User
     * with ID = 100 hasMany Products, the filter loads only Products with user_id == 100.</p>
     *
     * <p>Sometimes we want to filter by another field - for example in the case of a Twitter search application we may
     * have models for Search and Tweet:</p>
     *
    <pre><code>
    Ext.define('Search', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        fields: [
            'id', 'query'
        ],

        hasMany: {
            model: 'Tweet',
            name : 'tweets',
            filterProperty: 'query'
        }
    });

    Ext.define('Tweet', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        fields: [
            'id', 'text', 'from_user'
        ]
    });

    //returns a Store filtered by the filterProperty
    var store = new Search({query: 'Sencha Touch'}).tweets();
    </code></pre>
     *
     * <p>The tweets association above is filtered by the query property by setting the {@link #filterProperty}, and is
     * equivalent to this:</p>
     *
    <pre><code>
    var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
        model: 'Tweet',
        filters: [
            {
                property: 'query',
                value   : 'Sencha Touch'
            }
        ]
    });
