Naming conventions for BOOL Obj-C 2 properties?

Question

I have a readonly BOOL property. What is dominant naming pattern here?

Background: for plain old method declarations, the accepted pattern

- (BOOL)is

I don't think it really matters, since KVO will look at both is and .

Looking at the iPhone classes, the most common pattern I've seen is:

@property(nonatomic, getter=isHidden) BOOL hidden;

This let's you access the property in these ways:

obj.hidden = YES; // (1)
BOOL hidden = obj.hidden; // (2)
BOOL hidden = [obj isHidden]; // (3)

But not:

BOOL hidden = obj.isHidden; // (4)

CalStore does not follow that convention. You would be have to use line 4 instead of line 2.
