Sample code for a couple of Radars on dot-syntax: rdar://14250868 Dot syntax on Class methods only compiles with public methods rdar://14250709 Xcode does not always autocomplete the dot-syntax

ClassDotSyntax.m

// The behaviour for dot-syntax is inconsistent in two aspects.
//
// 1. Autocompletion
//  @properties and instance methods declared in the @interface block are autocompleted in Xcode with the dot-syntax;
//  However class methods and private instance method are not autocompleted, although they are perfectly valid.
//
//  Moreover, the class method are suggested in autocompletion after an instance variable.
//  (in the example below, that would be instance.classMethod.
//
//  Autocompletion should be suggested whenever the syntax is valid.
//
// 2. Private class method don't support dot-syntax
//  Public class method (as in SomeClass.classMethod) support the dot-syntax,
//  but private class method will *not* compile using dot-syntax, and must be written using the regular [].
//  (e.g., [SomeClass privateClassMethod] will compile, not SomeClass.privateClassMethod.
//
