This is totally unrelated to the topic at hand, but one of the really cool
things about C# (no Microsoft flames, please :P) that I wish Objective-C had
are properties. They let you simulate normal member variables but actually
call accessor and set functions.
For instance, you can have a String myStr property that actually sets
something in a dictionary in its implementation, like in Ondra's example,
transparently. This lets the user do simply:
MyClass.myStr = "Blah"
String myLocalStr = MyClass.myStr;
And both will not set the variable directly but will instead call the
associated get or set function. Pretty neato, if you ask me ;)

Thanks. Brian

Mere syntactic sugar. :-) However, it's certainly nice syntactic sugar to get
old-hand C++ programmers to start doing The Right Thing\TM\. :-)
