Hi,

Exactly! The reading habits increase comprehension and speed up things. That’s 
why I applaud here to those who developed Cocoa API over the years keeping it 
consistent and **easy** and **fast** to read and write. Again, please keep the 
good and proven things   from Cocoa in Objective-C!

Pavel.
