Cool idea, I am very interested in such work!

In ObjC you can only make variables protected, private or public, but not
methods. Usually you would just put them into a 'separate' category. 

And to be a little picky, 'get' in ObjC is not the same as ie. in Java or C++. 
In ObjC it is used to return a value by passing a pointer, ie:

- (void)getIntValue:(int*)value;

whereas the 'real' accessor would look like

- (int)intValue;

HTH,
