I've seen no one comment on what looks to be rather nasty: it appears that
the only way to use CoreData is to access the values via KVC.  So they
turn my objects into maps?  I'm not sure I like that.  KVC isn't very
pretty, nor easy to use.  It is nice for some things (remember value
channels?), but I'd still like my objects to be objects.

Unfortunalty I'll have to wait longer to see what it's really like.  I
wish they'd go ahead and release the full API docs.

Ah well.
