There’s no requirement that there be such an ivar, only a method named -window that returns an NSWindow*. The implementation of that method is arbitrary. For example it might just look like
	- (NSWindow*) window { return [_parent window];}

Separating interface from implementation is a good thing and a keystone of OOP.
