 * Adds metadataHelper extensions to Breeze
 * Source:

 *
 * Depends on Breeze which it patches
 *
 * You can use these helpers when creating metadata by hand
 * to improve workflow and reduce data entry errors.

 * The helpers reflect an opinion about developer workflow
 * that may or may not work for you.
 * Use these helpers "as is" or use for inspiration in creating your own.
