It is there for the developer to access -- when debugging. Might even be useful. I sometimes find the information useful when trying to understand how something is put together. But don’t use it for development. > At the least, it's confusing, because the docs say it's not supposed to be > there, yet there it is. The docs say no such thing or did I miss explicit statements that only documented methods and properties will ever exist? I think Ken is correct in saying "Their non-presence in the documentation and headers” is what shows them as private. Private is not that same as “not supposed to be there”. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
