Interface Builder actually does something like the following:

	if ([yourObject respondsTo:@selector(setTheOutlet:)])
		[yourObject setTheOutlet:outletID];

Those methods used to be automatically generated by IB, but are not anymore.
If you include them, you can do a lot of neat things in those methods.  They
are particularly useful with FormCells, where you can set the input format
and so forth.

It is still supported.  As far as the future goes, your guess is as good as
mine.
