And you're surprised that this caused an infinite loop?  The point of
the indexed accessors is to implement the actual data manipulation for
the proxy returned by -mutableArrayValueForKey.  So all
-removeKeyAtIndexes: should do is remove the requested object from
whatever storage mechanism is being used to back that property.
