Actually I wonder if this could be a useful enhancement to IB? Say if
you've never edited the object's name from the default, but then drag-
connect an outlet to it, the label changed to the name of the outlet.
That would be a quick and easy way to see at a glance what object it
is *in terms of your own ivar identifiers*. If you edit it anyway,
before or after, it just uses your label.
Just an idea,

Nothing. That is, not until you add an IBOutlet in whatever class
you want to connect to that instance. Say "AppController" has an
outlet called "thingController". You can then connect the
AppController's someThingController outlet to the "Some Thing
Controller" instance. Now, anywhere within your AppController class,
you can send messages to the "Some Thing Controller" instance by its
shiny new name:
