The documentation says:

"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."

A small number of test suggest -is<Key> is supported more generally.

Elsewhere, the documentation says:

"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."

This suggests that all three patterns are supported.

So am I likely to run into problems if I write accessors as -get<Key> or
-is<Key> for properties that have synthesized accessors?

And yes, there's a good reason for wanting to...
