Adding GTMIBArray, a class that can be used in IB to build up an NSArray
  directly, so developers don't need to add lots of outlets to other
  objects and assemble things during awakeFromNib.

+// This class allows you to create dynamically sized arrays of objects in your
+// nib.  This saves you from adding a random "large" number of outlets on an
+// object to accommodate a variable number of connections. If you need <= 5
+// objects you only need to create one of these in your nib. If you need > 5
+// objects you can connect any of the outlets in a given GTMIBArray to another
+// instance of GTMIBArray and we will recurse through it to create the final
+// array.
