Wat if you use subclasses of NSManagedObject as I always do?

[obj setBar:[NSNull null]] // has to fail, I need a string!

Your comparison to NSDictionary is wrong. NSManagedObject is a (good working) 
placeholder for a class with properties and not just a container like 
NSDictionary.

If you build a method that takes an NSString you would not want NSNull in it, 
do you?
