This is mainly a question of if the compiler is able to do this newer ObjC2.0
syntax.
clang does it nicely. Not sure if gcc can these days. Some older gcc versions
where for sure not capable which was the reason for me to switch all to clang,
given the new syntaxes saves you a lot of writing.
The syntax
id a = someobject[x] ;
will translate into a call like this
a =[someobject objectForKeyedSubscript:x];
The syntax
someobject[x] = a;
will translate into a call like this
[someobject setObject:a for keyedSubscript:x]
