Rons suggestion is probably optimal.

I'm definitely leaning towards that way, now. Though I may combine both for debugging.


static NSString *PropertyObservationContext = @"Property Context";

Use &PropertyObservationContext as the context. This way you could "po *(id *)context" in gdb for a human readable context.

I've filed rdar://problem/6185473 to update the "Key-Value Observing Programming Guide" about proper use of the context. The doc doesn't even use the context at all.
