CALayer almost certainly does, because it functions as an extensible KVC 
container (basically, it's like a dictionary in that you can call 
-setValue:forKey: with any key your heart desires).

Graham, the docs for -valueForKey: imply that it will work with any type, 
object or not: 
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/cocoa/conceptual/KeyValueCoding/Articles/DataTypes.html

But CFTypes *are* NSObjects. So I'm not sure why your case isn't working. Can 
you be more specific?
