# THE DEFINITION AND REGISTRY CLASSES
#
# The framework deals with two kinds of classes for models: the "definition"
# classes and the "registry" classes.
#
# The "definition" classes are the ones defined in modules source code: they
# define models and extend them.  Those classes are essentially "static", for
# whatever that means in Python.  The only exception is custom models: their
# definition class is created dynamically.
#
# The "registry" classes are the ones you find in the registry.  They are the
# actual classes of the recordsets of their model.  The "registry" class of a
# model is created dynamically when the registry is built.  It inherits (in the
# Python sense) from all the definition classes of the model, and possibly other
# registry classes (when the model inherits from another model).  It also
# carries model metadata inferred from its parent classes.
#
#
# THE REGISTRY CLASS OF A MODEL
#
# In the simplest case, a model's registry class inherits from all the classes
# that define the model in a flat hierarchy.  Consider the model definition
# below.  The registry class of model 'a' inherits from the definition classes
# A1, A2, A3, in reverse order, to match the expected overriding order.  The
# registry class carries inferred metadata that is shared between all the
# model's instances for a given registry.
#
#       class A1(Model):                      Model
#           _name = 'a'                       / | \
#                                            A3 A2 A1   <- definition classes
#       class A2(Model):                      \ | /
#           _inherit = 'a'                      a       <- registry class: registry['a']
#                                               |
#       class A3(Model):                     records    <- model instances, like env['a']
#           _inherit = 'a'
#
# Note that when the model inherits from another model, we actually make the
# registry classes inherit from each other, so that extensions to an inherited
# model are visible in the registry class of the child model, like in the
# following example.
#
#       class A1(Model):
#           _name = 'a'                       Model
#                                            / / \ \
#       class B1(Model):                    / /   \ \
#           _name = 'b'                    / A2   A1 \
#                                         B2  \   /  B1
#       class B2(Model):                   \   \ /   /
#           _name = 'b'                     \   a   /
#           _inherit = ['a', 'b']            \  |  /
#                                             \ | /
#       class A2(Model):                        b
#           _inherit = 'a'
#
#
# THE FIELDS OF A MODEL
#
# The fields of a model are given by the model's definition classes, inherited
# models ('_inherit' and '_inherits') and other parties, like custom fields.
# Note that a field can be partially overridden when it appears on several
# definition classes of its model.  In that case, the field's final definition
# depends on the presence or absence of each definition class, which itself
# depends on the modules loaded in the registry.
#
# By design, the registry class has access to all the fields on the model's
# definition classes.  When possible, the field is used directly from the
# model's registry class.  There are a number of cases where the field cannot be
# used directly:
#  - the field is related (and bits may not be shared);
#  - the field is overridden on definition classes;
#  - the field is defined for another model (and accessible by mixin).
#
# The last case prevents sharing the field, because the field object is specific
# to a model, and is used as a key in several key dictionaries, like the record
# cache and pending computations.
#
# Setting up a field on its definition class helps saving memory and time.
# Indeed, when sharing is possible, the field's setup is almost entirely done
# where the field was defined.  It is thus done when the definition class was
# created, and it may be reused across registries.
#
# In the example below, the field 'foo' appears once on its model's definition
# classes.  Assuming that it is not related, that field can be set up directly
# on its definition class.  If the model appears in several registries, the
# field 'foo' is effectively shared across registries.
#
#       class A1(Model):                      Model
#           _name = 'a'                        / \
#           foo = ...                         /   \
#           bar = ...                       A2     A1
#                                            bar    foo, bar
#       class A2(Model):                      \   /
#           _inherit = 'a'                     \ /
#           bar = ...                           a
#                                                bar
#
# On the other hand, the field 'bar' is overridden in its model's definition
# classes.  In that case, the framework recreates the field on the model's
# registry class.  The field's setup will be based on its definitions, and will
# not be shared across registries.
#
# The so-called magic fields ('id', 'display_name', ...) used to be added on
# registry classes.  But doing so prevents them from being shared.  So instead,
# we add them on definition classes that define a model without extending it.
# This increases the number of fields that are shared across registries.

        To customize this output, the context key "fill_temporal" can be used
        under its dictionary format, which has 3 attributes : fill_from,
        fill_to, min_groups (see params of this function)

        Fill between bounds:
        Using either `fill_from` and/or `fill_to` attributes, we can further
        specify that at least a certain date range should be returned as
        contiguous groups. Any group outside those bounds will not be removed,
        but the filling will only occur between the specified bounds. When not
        specified, existing groups will be used as bounds, if applicable.
        By specifying such bounds, we can get empty groups before/after any
        group with data.

        If we want to fill groups only between August (fill_from)
        and October (fill_to):
                                                     ___
                                 ___                |   |

                                |___| ___ |___| ___ |___|
                                 Jun  Aug  Sep  Oct  Dec

        We still get June and December. To filter them out, we should match
        `fill_from` and `fill_to` with the domain e.g. ['&',
            ('date_field', '>=', 'YYYY-08-01'),
            ('date_field', '<', 'YYYY-11-01')]:
                                         ___
                                    ___ |___| ___
                                    Aug  Sep  Oct

        Minimal filling amount:
        Using `min_groups`, we can specify that we want at least that amount of
        contiguous groups. This amount is guaranteed to be provided from
        `fill_from` if specified, or from the lowest existing group otherwise.
        This amount is not restricted by `fill_to`. If there is an existing
        group before `fill_from`, `fill_from` is still used as the starting
        group for min_groups, because the filling does not apply on that
        existing group. If neither `fill_from` nor `fill_to` is specified, and
        there is no existing group, no group will be returned.

        If we set min_groups = 4:

    # the records themselves are represented by their cache dictionary. The 'id'
    # of each record is found in its corresponding cache dictionary.

    #  - cache access is direct and thus fast;
    #  - one can consider records without an 'id' (see new records);
    #  - the global cache is only an index to "resolve" a record 'id'.
