Unless, of course, you have code in your setter method that handles
changes to and from nil. For example, you may add or remove self as
an observer for keypaths of an different object value. This would

dealloc methods.
No, this is precisely what you should not do. -init and -dealloc
should not invoke accessor methods, because the object is in a
partially constructed state that subclasses (including the
dynamically created ones KVO makes) often can't handle.
Do you have a documentation reference for that? I would have expected
the isa swizzling to be an implementation detail of the runtime that
is handled before my subclass inits. Of course, what I expect and what
happens in reality do not always match ;-)
