I am currently learning objective c and cocoa
I believe I understand the difference between properties and instance
variables, and the effect of using properties as opposed to instance
variables viz a viz KVO and memory management.
What I can't understand is why you would access instance variables directly
within a class. My quess is speed. Is there any other reason?
And related to this, why give instance variables a name different to the
name of the property.
Again, I suspect it may be a matter of style, but would like to know if
there are cases where it is a necessity.
