Is there a way to not @property then @synthesize?

I hate doing following

//in file.h    
@property (strong) NSString *reuseIdentifier;
//in file.m
@synthesize reuseIdentifier = _reuseIdentifier;

This feels so redundant. I get the distinction of concepts between property in which is named "reuseIdentifier" and memory block that's named "_reuseIdentifier" but why can't the xcode IDE do the work by itself?

I feel like I am doing chores.

It's not been necessary to explicitly implement or synthesize Objective-C properties since Xcode 4.4 in 2012. See the Xcode 4.4 section of the archived "What's New in Xcode" documentation:

Objective-C @properties are synthesized by default when not explicitly implemented.
