To add to this. Adopting these in your class API allows your class to take advantage of the same established generic coding behaviors in Foundation collections.

One useful example would be the unordered collection. You could implement this so that all the public properties of your class are accessible as it were a dictionary. allKeys would return the property names. allValues would return the values of those properties. instanceOfYourClass[aPropertyName] would return the property aPropertyName

This would allow quick iteration and introspection. Implementation would take some effort but would make a class fit nicely into KVC and KVO and add the ability to do simple and clever things with bindings as well.
