Summary:
Xcode 4.5 added automatically generated instance variables so every "proeprty" gets "_property" ivar "out of box"
However that is not the case for variables declared in protocols

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create protocol with following code
	@protocol TestProtocol <NSObject>
	@property (nonatomic, assign) id property;
	@end
2. Create a class with following .h
	@interface TestClass : NSObject <TestProtocol>
	@end
and .m file:
	@implementation TestClass
	- (id)init
	{
		self = [super init];
		if (!self) return nil;

		_property = @YES;
		
		return self;
	}
	@end

Expected Results:
This code should compile and run
 
Actual Results:
Produces compiler error: "Use of undeclared identifier '_property'"
