/** @class

  An ObjectController gives you a simple way to manage the editing state of
  an object.  You can use an ObjectController instance as a "proxy" for your
  model objects.

  Any properties you get or set on the object controller, will be passed
  through to its content object.  This allows you to setup bindings to your
  object controller one time for all of your views and then swap out the
  content as needed.

  ## Working with Arrays

  An ObjectController can accept both arrays and single objects as content.
  If the content is an array, the ObjectController will do its best to treat
  the array as a single object.  For example, if you set the content of an
  ObjectController to an array of Contact records and then call:

      contactController.get('name');

  The controller will check the name property of each Contact in the array.
  If the value of the property for each Contact is the same, that value will
  be returned.  If the any values are different, then an array will be
  returned with the values from each Contact in them.

  Most SproutCore views can work with both arrays and single content, which
  means that most of the time, you can simply hook up your views and this will
  work.

  If you would prefer to make sure that your ObjectController is always
  working with a single object and you are using bindings, you can always
  setup your bindings so that they will convert the content to a single object
  like so:

      contentBinding: SC.Binding.single('MyApp.listController.selection') ;

  This will ensure that your content property is always a single object
  instead of an array.

    will manage that single item.
