You can declare a property in a category, like so:

@interface NSView (Properties)
@property (assign) NSRect bounds;
@end

@interface NSView (Properties)
@dynamic bounds;
@end

As long as there is a <key> and set<key> method pair, you can "tack" on a property.
I've done it for some pre-leopard objects such as a subviews property etc on NSView...

You don't need to tack on an explicit property declaration. The dot- syntax will work for any getter/setter pair, as long as the receiving object is statically typed. In the original example, sender is declared as "id," so it doesn't work.
