I think it's subject to the same criticisms as *any* direct access to ivars,
although I agree it feels sketchier when done in plain C for some reason.
Which reminds me... instance methods can also directly access the ivars of
*other* instances of the same class.
- (void)myMethod
{
MyClass *otherInstance = [[MyClass alloc] init];
NSLog(@"%@", otherInstance->myIvar);
}
