In this case, it's not accessed terribly frequently, so that's what I ended up 
doing. I do use KVO a lot, although I don't see how that helps in this case (to 
trigger re-computing the transient value).

Pity there's not an update method that can be overridden in 
NSManagedObjectSubclasses when this happens. I guess my objects could KVO 
themselves…
