Details:

I. This method sets the receiver's path early.



1. This may be problematic in case of a failure: when the method doesn't
complete because of some error, the EOModel's path should not be modified (I
guess).



2. Strangely, in this method, the model tries to _read_ some information from
the file given by path. As it has modified its path by then, this fails.



Even if I call -initWithContentsOfFile: and then loadAllModelObjects, the
model wants to read something from file during -writeToFile:.



3. In EOModel.m, moving the call [self _setPath: path] from the top of
-writeToFile: to the very end seems to help, but I don't know if there are
side effects.



II. after creating a model with an .eomodeld-file by
-initWithContentsOfFile:, writing it to a file effectively copies the old
file, even when there are nonsensical key = value pairs in the plist
dictionaries. Is this ok? Also, there are no default values for omitted keys
written to the output file. Is this ok, too?
