posting a link.
While researching an answer for a different thread, I found it:
The description of NSKeyValueChangeKindKey in the NSKeyValueObserving
protocol reference[1] says that:
A value of NSKeyValueChangeInsertion, NSKeyValueChangeRemoval, or
NSKeyValueChangeReplacement indicates that mutating messages have
been sent to the array returned by a mutableArrayValueForKey:
message sent to the object, or that one of the key-value-coding-
compliant array mutation methods for the key has been invoked, or
that willChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey:/
didChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey: has otherwise been invoked.
It documents that "the key-value-coding-compliant array mutation
methods" generate change notifications of one of those kinds.
Further, it makes clear, by implication, that KVO does this by hooking
into those methods when a property is being observed and invoking will/
didChange:valuesAtIndexes:forKey: within its overrides.
Cheers,
Ken
