In Objective-C 2, data members can be moved into a @interface MyClass () section which lives in the .m file, rather than in the header file as in the classic case. This makes sense - those data members are typically part of the private implementation details of a class and not part of the public interface.
But is it worth updating older code to follow this convention? I’ve updated a lot of older code to declare @properties instead of classic getters and setters, and that definitely improves readability. This is a further step I’m contemplating but the benefits are less clear. Do you generally think this is worth doing?
