How to bring DRY (don't repeat yourself) to Objective-C

Question

I come from Ruby in Objective-C, and I keep doing:

NSObject *foo;

@property (nonatomic,retain) NSObject *foo;

in the .h file and then in the .m file:

@synthesize foo;

above and

[foo release]

in dealloc.

These are 4 steps to add foo! Do experienced Objective-C programmers have all four manual steps each time they want to add a new instance variable to a class? Am I missing a way to do this DRY?
