Read the API documentation, or the header comment for this method. 

/* Specifies a collection NSPropertyDescriptions that should be returned by the 
result. This value is only used if resultType is set to NSDictionaryResultType. 
Property descriptions added to valuesToFetch may represent attributes, 
expressions, or to one relationships; for attribute or relationship 
descriptions, the name must match the name of a description on the fetch 
entity. Results of the fetch will be returned as dictionaries containing 
key/value pairs where the key is the name of the specified property 
description. */
