I just had a revelation I though I would share -- thanks to some

that,
but maybe a few don't know or just hadn't thought about it.
That's a legacy behavior that goes back to the days when NeXT was a
bit more strict about encapsulation and data hiding. It used to be
that nib instantiation could only set values if accessors were
available.
