Ok, just looked at the link Mark refered to, so that answers one of my questions. Still, I would like to find out the rationale behind searching for an implementation of getKey first, and key second.

I think Johnny was actually referring to the fact that KVC comes for free if you have named your accessors for the item as "setItem:" and "item", and he was referring to using the "item" name for the method, instead of the "getItem" name, which KVC would not see automatically.

That's not what the KVC docs say.

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ KeyValueCoding/index.html>

From that page, the first step in the search pattern used by -valueForKey: is: "Search the receiver’s class for an accessor method whose name matches the pattern -get<Key>, -<key>, or -is<Key>, in that order."

I should have done my homework first...
In that case, I don't get it. Where in the documentation does it specify that getKey should be used in the manner Charlton described? And why are we encouraged to implement key instead of getKey, but getKey is searched for first?
