A TextExpander shortcut that generates Objective-C collection accessor methods. I'm amazed that the compiler can't synthesize these for you, since they're ever-so-formulaic, so I made a shortcut to fill them in automatically. This shortcut takes the following variables: Property name, Upper-cased property name (eg, comments and Comments), variab…
