Not really. 'name' is still something that is an accessor type thing, regardless of whether it is derived or declared via @property()

"dot abuse" refers to expressions like:

foo.retain;
bar.lockFocusIfCanDraw;

That is, expressions where you aren't really asking the object to retrieve some value, but are more or less telling the object to do something and return a result.

And, yes, there are grey areas.

So would something which is clearly not a property, but still returns an object, such as:

myObj = mySet.anyObject;

or:

enumerator = myArray.objectEnumerator;

be considered kosher?
