This brings to question other accessor snippets.  Take scalars for  
instance:

- (${1:unsigned int})${2:thing}
{
	return ${3:fThing};
}

- (void)set${2/./\u$0/}:(${1:unsigned int})new${2/./\u$0/}
{
	${3:fThing} = new${2/./\u$0/};
}

Clearly this fThing is a problem... a simple insert and recompile  
generates errors and warnings.
Does anyone on the list know why this is there, and if it is a  
shortcut to some prefix voodoo, why doesn't it just work as-is?  I'm  
inclined to want to change this as well.

(On a side note: Mmmmmm CoreData accessor... woot bbum!)
