No, not really, since values can be used (as type 'id') without having to worry 
about their class.

For example, key-value-observing (KVO) and bindings use KVC in a generic way, 
without having to care what the exact types of properties are. The runtime 
support for nibs can also use KVC to assign values to outlets.

Is there something generic that you'd like to do with KVC that you can't figure 
out how to do?
