/**
`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.
`RLMDictionary` only supports `NSString` as a key. Realm disallows the use of `.` or `$` characters within a dictionary key.
### 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).

the write transaction.
