 * The Collection class contains a number of functions sort, index and manipulate
 * an array of items.
 * 
 * Example 1: Index a list based on its values and extract a single attribute.
 * <code>
 * class Book extends ActiveRecord\Model {
 *     static $attr_accessible = array('id', 'name');
 * }
 * 
 * // Index all book names by their id.
 * $books = Book::all();                      // Find a list of books
 * $collection = new Collection($books);      // Put the list in a collection
 * $indexed = $collection->indexBy('id');    // Create indexes for all books
 * $names = $indexed->getAttribute('name');  // Get the values of a single attribute
 * // $names now contains something like array(1 => 'Some book', 2 => 'Another book')
 * 
 * // Same as above:
 * $names = Collection::create(Book::all())->indexBy('id')->getAttribute('name');
 * </code>
 * 
 * Example 2: Execute a method for each item in a list.
 * <code>
 * // Delete all books
 * Collection::create(Book::all())->mapMethod('delete');
 * </code>
