/**
* This notification is intended to allow EOTemporaryGlobalIDs
* to be replaced with the corresponding EOKeyGlobalIDs. In theory
* one could interpret this as a mechanism to allow primary key
* attributes to be mutable class properties. Even though EOF also posts
* this notification in that case, it fails to consistently propagate
* the new value through relationships. GDL2 may attempt to correct
* that shortcoming in the future, but it may have serious performance
* implications.
