Really interesting - but also sounds really terrible :)
Makes you wonder why stuff like hasn't been fixed in Objective-C 2.0.
It has been in the modern runtime -- the runtime used in on 64 bits
and "other places". In that environment, the runtime can and will
@synthesize instance variables and it is possible to add instance
variables in a private way (but not supported entirely in syntax).
As well, the modern runtime allows a superclass to add instance
variables without recompiling subclasses.
It isn't fixed in the 32 bit runtime because we couldn't figure out a
way to do so that both preserved binary compatibility and used a
finite amount of memory / CPU.
