why isn't Xcode 4 even smarter?

In Xcode 4, when you create an outlet by dragging from a nib object to code in such a way as to generate an instance variable declaration, Xcode creates the instance variable declaration _and_ the corresponding +release+ call.

And when you create an outlet by dragging from a nib object to code in such a way as to generate a property declaration, Xcode creates the property declaration _and_ the instance variable declaration _and_ the @synthesize directive _and_ the corresponding release call in dealloc.

This is cool, but it does make one wonder why Xcode 4 can't do this for _any_ property or instance variable you create. If Xcode is so smart, why can't it be smart _any_ time I want to make a property? Why I am I still typing @synthesize and release myself???

Here endeth the moan of the day - m.
