It is confusing, but primarily because of the pile of new terminology.
There seems to be few differences between GNUstep and libFoundation.

Objective-C is actually really nice one you get a little used to it, and
accustom yourself to the wacky square-bracket syntax.

I think for the application-level developer libFoundation/GNUstep issue
is irrelevant.  libFoundation just implements the base classes.

It is.  The -
  LSRunCommandV(_context, @"person", @"get-telephones",
                @"objects", m,
                @"relationKey", @"telephones", nil);
 - command adds them to the person records under the telephones key.
EOGenericRecords are mutable, which, at first, was a mental hurdle for
me as well.

Each phone record has the following keys: telephoneId , companyId, info,
number, realNumber, type, and url.
