This brings me back to a point of confusion in 2011 where I created properties 
in a class and accessed them without the self.  Or so I thought.  Anyway, time 
for a little research to narrow this down.


On another note, I'm with you on disliking autosynthesis.

What I like about having to manually create the @synthesis is that this creates 
a nice little table of contents at the top of my .m file.  An easy single place 
where I can see all the props listed within my class.  A point of reference.

Putting each property @synthesis on its own line also provides ample room for 
comments to make everything nice and clear.

Also, you can turn it off autosynthesis?  How?  That would be a big help for me 
to straighten out this iOS project where the original developers thought 
everything needed to be a java bean.

Thanks much.

NSBean - it's what happens when you have Java programmers try to create iOS 
apps.
