James, you've added an instance variable which is simply a copy of
other data. This is always a dangerous practice that must be
exercised with great care. Although this practice is occasionally
necessary for performance reasons, other alternatives should be
considered first. In my judgment, getting KVObservability for a
variable is not a enough good reason.
Maybe you'll be able to get away with it this time, because it's just
an index set, but don't make a habit of this. If you ever try this
with, for example, Core Data managed objects, you'll be spending some
time bug-hunting.
I'm sticking with my method.
