Class to access or create models.

Models can either be created in markup or programmatically in the controller.

To create models in markup, see the 'Model Element' section in the Alloy XML Markup guide.

In the controller code:

To create a local instance, use the Alloy.createModel method.
To create a global singleton instance, use the Alloy.Models.instance method.

Previously created models through markup or using the instance method are directly accessed as properties of the Alloy.Models namespace, using either the name of the model JavaScript file for singletons or the ID name for local instances.
