If the property is a scalar numeric, KVC examines the property type and boxes
or unboxes the scalar value to NSNumber or from the object it's given. Passing
a string can indeed cause problems, though. The following code, for example,
will throw an exception:
@property unsigned int myValue;
…
[someObject setValue: @"1" forKey: @"myValue"];
(Hint: look up the documentation for -[NSString unsignedIntValue].)
