Gosh! How dare Apple make up a convention after Swarm was written! They could have at least consulted us ;-D
We subclass very few of Apple's classes, only NSObject actually, so we should be okay.

Avoid the use of the underscore character as a prefix meaning private, especially in methods. Apple reserves the use of this convention. Use by third parties could result in name-space collisions; they might unwittingly override an existing private method with one of their own, with disastrous consequences. See “Private Methods” for suggestions on conventions to follow for private API.
...I've noticed there are a lot of underscore-prefixed names in the Swarm framework.
