Hey, it's that dead horse again, let's beat it!
Andrei and I and several others discussed this ad infinitum. You
will never convince Andrei that his design is wrong :)
Andrei is the one who complained that it's difficult to know whether
'byLine' is a property in the first place. I'm just explaining why it
is, and what should be done.
I'm starting to think Anrei likes ambiguous semantics. :-)
I'll tell you what I'd have liked: a landslide of responses to my
question revealing my mistaken ways and clarifying without a shade of
a doubt that byLine should be a @property. Or not. (I don't even care
which.)
It's been mentioned before that tough decisions need to be made in many
areas of programming. Deciding what is a property and what is not is no
different.
Except it has no reward associated with it.
