Cocoa – Notification on NSUserDefaults value change?

Spent all day looking for the answer, only to find it 10 minutes after asking the question…

Came across a solution through Key-Value-Observing:

[[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController] addObserver:self
    forKeyPath:@"values.MyPreference"
    options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
    context:NULL];

Or, more simply (per comment below):

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] addObserver:self
                                        forKeyPath:@"MyPreference"
                                           options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew
                                           context:NULL];
