Hmm, that's a good thought. (But recall that modules allow access to
private members.)
hehe, no I mean in Objective-C, instance variables are ALWAYS private.
Unless you leak that address out to the world, nobody will be getting it.
Typically, you don't give out addresses to anything but Objective-C object
members, which are themselves reference counted. All member variables
that are 'public' are accessed via properties.
If you do give out addresses to member variables, you have to be wary of
this problem.
