And I'm kind of surprised that NSArray doesn't implement valueForKey: as
equivalent to objectAtIndex:
where the key is numeric.
The reason is that with configured access (say .wod file) it's seldom
useful to access a fixed index while it's often useful to transform an
array.
Example, very seldom (let's say almost never) used:
Name: WOString {
value = persons.1.lastname;
}
Example, very often used:
Names: WORepetition { list = persons.lastname; item=name }
So the people probably looked at their usage of KVC with NSArray and saw
the same thing I see ;-)
