Mac developers benefit from this informal protocol to make code more readable. For example:



  [aDate isLessThan:anotherDate]



is much more readable than:



  [aDate compare:anotherDate] == NSOrderedAscending



or



  [aDate isEqual:[aDate earlierDate:anotherDate]]



iOS developers should have it just as easy.
