Limited-access, KVO-compliant mutable array?

I feel certain people have run into this before, but my Googling didn't turn up exactly what I was looking for.

I'd like to create a "mutable read-only" array property. I want clients of the class to be able to observe changes to the *contents* of the array (that is, if an element is added or removed), in addition to changes of the entire array. But I don't want those clients to be able to add or remove anything to/from the array themselves; I only want the class on which the property is defined to be able to do that.

Is this possible? My first thought is to make a read-only NSArray* property, but then it seems that addition or removal of elements to/from that property wouldn't get observed; i.e., an NSArray should never change its contents.

What's the right way to do this? Thanks!
