Note that this isn't true in the 64-bit runtime, where ivars don't
have to be declared publicly. There, AFAIK, ivars are uniqued by name
still, so unexpected clashes are possible (and wouldn't be detected at
compile time, necessarily... someone less lazy than me should write
some test cases and find out :) ).
