What happened to initWithModel: and what did it do?

[tomredman]

I'm reviewing @ashfurrow's C-41 MVVC project, and notice he's using - (instancetype)initWithModel:(id)model; which is included with his version of RVM. However the method is missing from the latest version. So:

1. What happened to the method?
2. What did it do (i.e., what was the model)?

The view model used to contain a generic id model object on every instance, which you could override with your own type later on. But not all view models have a model, and the id type, along with its readonly status, caused some compile-time funkiness. So it was removed: #11

In my view models now, which use the updated repo, I specify my own model with its own type when appropriate. Hope that clears things up!

Excellent, thanks.
