DRY properties - setting default @synthesize instead of @dynamic

Hello!

It is stated in documentation that default property implementation setting is @dynamic.

I can understand there are reasons for this choice, but I wonder if there is a compiler switch that would make the default @synthesize (at least in GC situation this would be quite handy) ?

It is probably quite common situation in GC environment for one to just declare "@property SomeClass *ivar" and want to have its accessors synthesized. Currently one must re-type the property declaration in implementation section with "@synthesize ivar". If the default would be @synthesize, no duplication would occur and we could simply declare properties in headers and use them without any additional typing in most cases.

Is there such a flag anywhere?
