I don’t find this practice very objectionable, but the drawback is that 
'[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate]’ has the wrong class, so you 
usually end up writing some sort of global function to get it pre-cast.

In that case, you may as well use a different object, make it a local static 
variable in a class implementation, and write a static method (“[MyContextCache 
sharedContextCache]”) to get it. Don’t forget to use dispatch_once to create 
the singleton. You may not have any thread safety concerns right now, but you 
might easily do so later.
