// Implementation notes: The EL path manipulation utilities here are equivalents of the simpler ones

// as \. and \ as \\ - allowing us to process member names containing periods. These versions are mostly
// in use within model machinery, whereas the cheaper versions based on String.split(".") are mostly used
// within the IoC machinery.
// Performance testing in early 2015 suggests that modern browsers now allow these to execute slightly faster
// than the equivalent machinery written using complex regexps - therefore they will continue to be maintained
// here. However, there is still a significant performance gap with respect to the performance of String.split(".")
// especially on Chrome, so we will continue to insist that component member names do not contain a "." character
// for the time being.
// See http://jsperf.com/parsing-escaped-el for some experiments

 *    modelSegs {String[]|Undefined} An array of path segments into the model of the component if this is a model reference
 *    path {String} the value of <code>modelSegs</code> encoded as an EL path (remove client uses of this in time)
 *    nonModel {Boolean} Set if <code>implicitRelay</code> was true and the reference was not into a model (modelSegs/path will not be set in this case)

/** Connect a model relay relation between model material. This is called in three scenarios:
 * i) from `fluid.parseModelRelay` when parsing an uncontextualised model relay (one with a static transform document), to
 * directly connect the source and target of the relay
 * ii) from `fluid.parseModelRelay` when parsing a contextualised model relay (one whose transform document depends on other model
 * material), to connect updates emitted from the transform document's applier onto the relay ends (both source and target)
 * iii) from `fluid.parseImplicitRelay` when parsing model references found within contextualised model relay to bind changes emitted
 * from the target of the reference onto the transform document's applier. These may apply directly to another component's model (in its case
 * A) or apply to a relay document (in its case B)
 *
 * This function will make one or two calls to `fluid.registerDirectChangeRelay` in order to set up each leg of any required relay.
 * Note that in case iii)B) the component referred to as our argument `target` is actually the "source" of the changes (that is, the one encountered
 * while traversing the transform document), and our argument `source` is the component holding the transform, and so
 * the call to `fluid.registerDirectChangeRelay` will have `source` and `target` reversed (`fluid.registerDirectChangeRelay` will bind to the `targetApplier`
 * in the options rather than source's applier).
 * @param {Component} source - The component holding the material giving rise to the relay, or the one referred to by the `source` member
 *   of the configuration in case ii), if there is one
 * @param {Array|null} sourceSegs - An array of parsed string segments of the `source` relay reference in case i), or the offset into the transform
 *   document of the reference component in case iii), otherwise `null` (case ii))
 * @param {Component} target - The component holding the model relay `target` in cases i) and ii), or the component at the other end of
 *   the model reference in case iii) (in this case in fact a "source" for the changes.
 * @param {Array} targetSegs - An array of parsed string segments of the `target` reference in cases i) and ii), or of the model reference in
 *   case iii)
 * @param {Object} options - A structure describing the relay, allowing discrimination of the various cases above. This is derived from the return from
 * `fluid.makeTransformPackage` but will have some members filtered in different cases. This contains members:
 *    update {Function} A function to be called at the end of a "half-transaction" when all pending updates have been applied to the document's applier.
 *        This discriminates case iii)
 *    targetApplier {ChangeApplier} The ChangeApplier for the relay document, in case iii)B)
 *    forwardApplier (ChangeApplier} The ChangeApplier for the relay document, in cases ii) and iii)B) (only used in latter case)
 *    forwardAdapter {Adapter} A function accepting (transaction, newValue) to pass through the forward leg of the relay. Contains a member `cond` holding the parsed relay condition.
 *    backwardAdapter {Adapter} A function accepting (transaction, newValue) to pass through the backward leg of the relay. Contains a member `cond` holding the parsed relay condition.
 *    namespace {String} Namespace for any relay definition
 *    priority {String} Priority for any relay definition or synthetic "first" for iii)A)

// Notes on compound/composite transactions:
// Ever since the now long-standing model relay system was implemented for FLUID-5024 round about 2014, it has been
// recognised that model transactions need to be "composite" across the entire component tree. That is, all the parts
// of models touched by a network of relays across the tree need to be committed apparently (from the point of view of
// ModelListeners) atomically. This poses an odd design risk for the apparently programmatic ChangeApplier API which
// appears to promise to allow the user to commit an "individual" transaction using var trans = that.initiate();
// followed by trans.commit().
// This implies that hidden behind "trans.commit" needs to be the entire machinery to commit the transaction across the
// tree - and since this itself is compound, the coordination for the sub-steps of this operation including the
// so-called and malignantly named "half-transactional system" that governs relays.
// What is meant by "half-transactional"? What it means is that the data structures (newHolder + oldHolder) used to
// track updates through a transaction are somewhat abused as relay documents themselves are models and need to be
// updated apparently atomically, and BEFORE they are called upon to operate. Updates to model relay documents themselves
// need to be atomic since a partially updated relay document will be corrupt and do something malignant to the surrounding
// models. As a result, transactions have a special method "reset" which is used to mark such "pauses" partway through the
// overall transaction, resetting the transaction to its original state but not closing it out completely in the expectation
// that further updates may pass through as updates continue to slosh around the tree.
// This all occurs in the preCommit/postCommit hooks added to each individual transaction's events. We do not attempt
// to update any relay documents or indeed anything other than "newHolder" in each isolated transaction until a
// commit is actually requested via trans.commit(). Then all hell breaks loose - The workflow is as follows:
// i) preCommit for the transaction operates
//    a) updateRelays operates across the entire tree, expecting that all changes have been maximally relayed into relay
//       documents - it operates them, thus relaying any updates across their sources/targets to each other
//    b) commitRelays operates across the entire tree - committing every relay document, but also taking the time to commit
//       every ordinary transaction participant too (giving rise to the perplexing comment that stood in
//       fluid.model.commitRelays for 6 years)
//           The result of b) would ordinarily re-initiate this ENTIRE process across the tree again were it not for the
//           special argument "relay" provided which then aborts the elements of the sub-workflow when it is detected.
//           This is a nutty system which should be refactored to move all of the machinery onto a first-class cross-tree
//           "transaction" object which at present is just a dumb data structure held in instantiator.modelTransactions.
// ii) commit for the transaction operates - but note that because of i) b) we actually expect this to be a no-op since
//     it has already committed!
// iii) postCommit hooks then
//    a) notifyExternal notifies modelListeners around the skeleton in priority order
//    b) concludeAnyTreeTransaction concludes any component tree transaction that arose through lensed construction and
//       destruction of components
