 * This class is a helper that allow to use NSCoding and NSCopying reusing the Motis mapping definitions.
 * This behavior will only apply to properties defined inside a Motis mapping (`+mts_mapping`).
 *
 * NOTE: This class is not needed to perform JSON mapping.The category NSObject+Motis can do it on any NSObject.
 *
 * To use it, subclass this class and define the Motis mapping.
 * List of used properties can be extended by subclassing the method `+mts_motisPropertyNames`.
