## Discussion

Your implementation of this property must be key-value observing (KVO) compliant. For more information on how to implement support for KVO, see [Key-Value Observing Programming Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueObserving/KeyValueObserving.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000177i).
