/// Creates a RACKVOChannel to the given key path. When the targeted object
/// deallocates, the channel will complete.
///
/// If RACChannelTo() is used as an expression, it returns a RACChannelTerminal that
/// can be used to watch the specified property for changes, and set new values
/// for it. The terminal will start with the property's current value upon
/// subscription.
///
/// If RACChannelTo() is used on the left-hand side of an assignment, there must a
/// RACChannelTerminal on the right-hand side of the assignment. The two will be
/// subscribed to one another: the property's value is immediately set to the
/// value of the channel terminal on the right-hand side, and subsequent changes
/// to either terminal will be reflected on the other.
///
/// There are two different versions of this macro:
///
///  - RACChannelTo(TARGET, KEYPATH, NILVALUE) will create a channel to the `KEYPATH`
///    of `TARGET`. If the terminal is ever sent a `nil` value, the property will
///    be set to `NILVALUE` instead. `NILVALUE` may itself be `nil` for object
///    properties, but an NSValue should be used for primitive properties, to
///    avoid an exception if `nil` is sent (which might occur if an intermediate
///    object is set to `nil`).
///  - RACChannelTo(TARGET, KEYPATH) is the same as the above, but `NILVALUE` defaults to
///    `nil`.
///
/// Examples
///
///  RACChannelTerminal *integerChannel = RACChannelTo(self, integerProperty, @42);
///
///  // Sets self.integerProperty to 5.
///  [integerChannel sendNext:@5];
///
///  // Logs the current value of self.integerProperty, and all future changes.
///  [integerChannel subscribeNext:^(id value) {
///      NSLog(@"value: %@", value);
///  }];
///
///  // Binds properties to each other, taking the initial value from the right
///  side.
///  RACChannelTo(view, objectProperty) = RACChannelTo(model, objectProperty);
///  RACChannelTo(view, integerProperty, @2) = RACChannelTo(model, integerProperty, @10);
