title: Are the new object literals backwards compatible with iOS 5?
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out if I should start using the recently added object literals to subscripting dictionaries, arrays and so on. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11658669/how-to-enable-the-new-objective-c-object-literals-on-ios">This following post</a> seems to indicate that iOS5 doesn't support them, and I read that the functionality was added in iOS6.</p>
  
  <p>Is that the case? Is anybody using the new literals in iOS5 successfully?</p>
