Bruno,

> @property (nonatomic, retain) dispatch_queue_t *dispatchQueue;


Let's assume for a second that this worked.  Since dispatch_queue_t is already 
typedef'd as a pointer  "typedef struct dispatch_queue_s *dispatch_queue_t;". 
You've declared the property as a pointer to a pointer, which means that he 
would have to dereference that pointer in his class that has the property, 
every time he uses it.

Secondly, dispatch_queue_t doesn't subclass NSObject, or implement the NSObject 
protocol, and therefore doesn't implement the -[retain] message.  The 
auto-generated getter and setter would crash.
