This is similar to Perl's "Tied" variables. It's pretty cool to play
with, and darn handy.

This is totally unrelated to the topic at hand, but one of the really cool
things about C# (no Microsoft flames, please :P) that I wish Objective-C had
are properties. They let you simulate normal member variables but actually
call accessor and set functions.
For instance, you can have a String myStr property that actually sets
something in a dictionary in its implementation, like in Ondra's example,
transparently. This lets the user do simply:
MyClass.myStr = "Blah"
String myLocalStr = MyClass.myStr;
And both will not set the variable directly but will instead call the
associated get or set function. Pretty neato, if you ask me ;)
Thanks. Brian
Mere syntactic sugar. :-) However, it's certainly nice
syntactic sugar to get
old-hand C++ programmers to start doing The Right Thing\TM\. :-)
