Hmm, how can Apple have a patent for that, when it was already present

Smalltalk 80, perhaps even Smalltalk 78, years before the very first

It is also currently a feature of Python:
class SomeClass:
def __init__(self):
self.val = 2
anInstance = SomeClass()
print anInstance.val
> 2
print anInstance.__dict__
> {'val':2}
anInstance.__dict__["val"] = 3
print anInstance.val

So if they are not "vigorously" enforcing the patent it may be invalid.
I've never seen EOF, but from the comments of many it seems to be
something
very interesting (as well as useful). Are there docs or specs online?
