/**
 An `RLMRealm` instance (also referred to as "a Realm") represents a Realm
 database.

 Realms can either be stored on disk (see `+[RLMRealm realmWithURL:]`) or in
 memory (see `RLMRealmConfiguration`).

 `RLMRealm` instances are cached internally, and constructing equivalent `RLMRealm`
 objects (for example, by using the same path or identifier) multiple times on a single thread
 within a single iteration of the run loop will normally return the same
 `RLMRealm` object.

 If you specifically want to ensure an `RLMRealm` instance is
 destroyed (for example, if you wish to open a Realm, check some property, and
 then possibly delete the Realm file and re-open it), place the code which uses
 the Realm within an `@autoreleasepool {}` and ensure you have no other
 strong references to it.

 @warning Non-frozen `RLMRealm` instances are thread-confined and cannot be
 shared across threads or dispatch queues. Trying to do so will cause an
 exception to be thrown. You must call this method on each thread you want to
 interact with the Realm on. For dispatch queues, this means that you must call
 it in each block which is dispatched, as a queue is not guaranteed to run all
 of its blocks on the same thread.

 even if `autorefresh` is set to `YES`.

 Even with this property enabled, you can still call `-refresh` at any time to
 update the Realm before the automatic refresh would occur.

 Write transactions will still always advance a Realm to the latest version and
 produce local notifications on commit even if autorefresh is disabled.

 Disabling `autorefresh` on a Realm without any strong references to it will not
 have any effect, and `autorefresh` will revert back to `YES` the next time the
 Realm is created. This is normally irrelevant as it means that there is nothing
 to refresh (as managed `RLMObject`s, `RLMArray`s, and `RLMResults` have strong
 references to the Realm that manages them), but it means that setting
 `RLMRealm.defaultRealm.autorefresh = NO` in
 `application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:` and only later storing Realm
 objects will not work.

 Defaults to `YES`.

/**
 Invalidates all `RLMObject`s, `RLMResults`, `RLMLinkingObjects`, and `RLMArray`s managed by the Realm.

 A Realm holds a read lock on the version of the data accessed by it, so
 that changes made to the Realm on different threads do not modify or delete the
 data seen by this Realm. Calling this method releases the read lock,
 allowing the space used on disk to be reused by later write transactions rather
 than growing the file. This method should be called before performing long
 blocking operations on a background thread on which you previously read data
 from the Realm which you no longer need.

 All `RLMObject`, `RLMResults` and `RLMArray` instances obtained from this
 `RLMRealm` instance on the current thread are invalidated. `RLMObject`s and `RLMArray`s
 cannot be used. `RLMResults` will become empty. The Realm itself remains valid,
 and a new read transaction is implicitly begun the next time data is read from the Realm.

 Calling this method multiple times in a row without reading any data from the
 Realm, or before ever reading any data from the Realm, is a no-op.
