Access to CoreData without UIApplication

Question

I want to access to CoreData without UIApplication.sharedApplication() because I want to manage CoreData from Extension and Application. For example I don't want to use:

var appDel:AppDelegate = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate)
var context:NSManagedObjectContext = appDel.managedObjectContext!

But use something without UIApplication...

Thank you !

I would simply make it so that the App Delegate doesn't own the managed object context. I know that the auto generated core data code does this, but I feel like its bad form to marry core data to your app delegate.
