///
/// Subclasses overriding this method should combine their values with those of
/// `super`.
///
/// Values in the dictionary can either be key paths in the JSON representation
/// of the receiver or an array of such key paths. If an array is used, the
/// deserialized value will be a dictionary containing all of the keys in the
/// array.
///
/// Any keys omitted will not participate in JSON serialization.
///
/// Examples
///
///     + (NSDictionary *)JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey {
///         return @{
///             @"name": @"POI.name",
///             @"point": @[ @"latitude", @"longitude" ],
///             @"starred": @"starred"
///         };
///     }
///
/// This will map the `starred` property to `JSONDictionary[@"starred"]`, `name`
/// to `JSONDictionary[@"POI"][@"name"]` and `point` to a dictionary equivalent
/// to:
///
///     @{
///         @"latitude": JSONDictionary[@"latitude"],
///         @"longitude": JSONDictionary[@"longitude"]
