...with non standard ManagedObjectContexts

Hi I have added added another Save command called SaveInContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)moc for use with Frameworks such as Restkit that specify a non standard MOC, this also helps in some cases where you have abstracted the initial fetch request.

Feel free to merge or ignore as desired :)

Hm. This could be confusing. If you change values on the object, the changes are going to be recorded on its associated context. In other words, this wouldn't work:

Person *person = [Person find:@{@"firstName": @"Stephen"} inContext:moc1];
person.firstName = @"Steve";
[person saveInContext:moc2];

If you know which MOC needs saving, why not call [moc save:&error] directly?

@jfield44 closing this, as it really doesn't make sense.

When you create an object in a managed object context, e.g. [Person createInContext:moc], the object knows it's context. So, person.managedObjectContext would return moc
