Could anyone point me to any documentation of Syntactic sugar used in
Cocoa programming if it is used much in development here ?

I think Cocoa as provided is quite free from syntactic sugar. I guess what is originally there works too well, so there is no stressing need sweetening it.

I have two macros I always use though: RELEASE(foo); to both send release message and set pointer to nil, in one go. Dangling pointers bug me. And the FOREACH(foo, bar) ... to work with enumerators in three lines of code less. Both do not add anything new to Cocoa or ObjC, they just make common task less tedious, good examples of syntactic sugar I think.
