It's not implicitly redefined -- just inherited. One of the advantages of
Objective-C's dynamic nature is that [[[self class] alloc] init] works
correctly when you inherit it. If you find a constructor that isn't properly
inherited, I'd say you should probably file a bug report. (Unless we're talking
about some special case where subclassing doesn't make much sense, obviously.)
Cheers,
Chuck
