The documentation says:

"The default implementation of this method retrieves the information from a global dictionary keyed by the receiver’s pointers.

For improved performance, this method can be overridden to retrieve the opaque data pointer in an instance variable. Overrides of this method must not attempt to send Objective-C messages to the stored data, including retain and release."

So it doesn't say it's an opaque pointer. Just that you can override this method to return an opaque pointer.

What it IS is undefined. Apple's classes are free to use any type of data structure they want... as are your own.

Not quote. The observationInfo is for the use of KVO. You can override the method to store the info in an iVar if this is important for performance, but that's about all you can do. KVO owns the data and its format.
