"If the attribute is expressed as a verb, the format is:

NSView defines "isHidden" and "setHidden". Shouldn't this be "isHidden" and "setIsHidden"? If not, then Accessorizor won't work, because if your ivar is name "isHidden", it will produce "setIsHidden". I guess the question is, how serious a violation of the coding rules is "setIsHidden" as opposed to "setHidden"?
