Also, are the _ in front of member variables for Apple only (so we
don't stomp on each other with member var names) or are they using
them for the readability reason mentioned above? There is
documentation where they have claimed _ at the beginning of method
names as being Apple only, but nothing about method vars, and the
KVC compliance docs seem to imply that it is fine to do.
Officially it is Apple only, but everybody and his dog uses it - in
consistency to quite some Apple-provided samples.
Please file bugs when you see a sample that does so. A single leading
underscore is an Apple internal coding convention, which should not be
used for code samples. I did what I could to get those kinds of
things fixed when I was there, but someone's got to file a bug for it
to get noticed.
