66 66  It turns out that calling valueForKey on an array is the same as calling valueForKey for each element of that array. So if you have an NSArray of Users, calling valueForKey("email"); will return an NSArray of email addresses. calling valueForKey("documents"); will return an NSArray of NSArrays containing document objects. In hindsight (and from looking at the way WOBuilder handles key paths for arrays) this is kind of obvious. But I think the real lesson here is that it is easy to ignore the docs towards the end of an alphabetical page...
