"Accessing a property property calls the get method associated with 
the property (by default, property) and setting it calls the set 
method associated with the property (by default, setProperty:). In 
fact, as long as there is an appropriate getter and setter available, 
you can use the dot-syntax invoke those methods even if you haven’t 
declared a property (if you haven’t declared a property, the getter 
and setter must be named property and setProperty: respectively)."
