Would using NSInteger (instead of NSNumber) still work right when doing KVC
in something like:


-(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder;
{
    for (NSString* key in [self propertyKeys])
        [coder encodeObject:[self valueForKey:key] forKey:key];
}


What gets returned from [self valueForKey:key]? I guess the system wrapes
the NSInteger in an NSNumber?
