The easiest way to implement NSFastEnumeration is to build your custom collection on top of NSFoundation collections.
#pragma mark - NSFastEnumeration
- (NSUInteger)countByEnumeratingWithState:(NSFastEnumerationState *)state
objects:(__unsafe_unretained id [])buffer count:(NSUInteger)len
{
return [dictionary.allValues countByEnumeratingWithState:state objects:stackbuf count:len];
}
#pragma mark -
likes(bear, honey).
likes(human, honey).
likes(racoon, chicken).
likes(pig, slop).
likes(vulture,roadkill).
flavor(sweet, honey).
flavor(savory, chicken).
flavor(gross, slop).
flavor(gross,roadkill).

CoreData: merging changes from background context.
// getting this error?
// "An observer of NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification illegally threw an exception"
// observing the notification here
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(otherContextDidSave:)
name:NSManagedObjectContextDidSaveNotification object:nil];
// FIX: you must mergeChangesFromContextDidSaveNotification: on main thread
