           Summary: Auto-generated UIViewController 'view' property
                    conflicts with the View property for type-insensitive

In C#, you can use MyController.View from anywhere, including inside the
MyController class, because C# sees it as different from the 'view' in the
designer.cs. The problem is that, even in C#, the private 'view' property is
null - so for case-insensitive languages like Oxygene, having a local private
property that's null with effectively the same name as the public one makes
things difficult. We have to put in "(inherited View)" instead of just "View"
everywhere inside our ViewController classes. 

Would it be possible to have the xib codegen _not_ generate the 'view'
property? Since it's always null, it would seem to not be necessary.
