I realize after all this, it's not really the Dot Syntax I need. I
need to know how a property name (starts with lower-case letter) is
transliterated into the getter/setter names.
The dot syntax uses the getter and setting specified for the property
in the @property declaration. As documented[1], if you don't
explicitly supply getter or setter names in that directive, it
defaults to the property name for the getter and "set" plus the
property name with its first letter capitalized plus a trailing colon
for the setter.
The naming conventions[2] used in Cocoa predate both Key-Value
Coding[3] and the dot syntax, and therefore both follow them.
