"The format for an accessor method that returns a property is - <key>. The -<key> method returns an object, scalar or a data structure. The alternate naming form -is<Key> is supported for Boolean properties." "When the default implementation of valueForKey: is invoked on a receiver, the following search pattern is used: "1. Searches the class of the receiver for an accessor method whose name matches the pattern -get<Key>, -<key>, or -is<Key>, in that order. If such a method is found it is invoked." So am I likely to run into problems if I write accessors as - get<Key> or -is<Key> for properties that have synthesized accessors?
