Technical QA 1405 concerns the creation of Objective-C methods that

Happily the mechanisms just use the standard C mechanisms (va_start
and friends).
That being the case, why is it that methods like arrayWithObjects:
require you to nil terminate the list of arguments? Is it simply
tradition, or some kind of optimization?
I don't need to know... I'm just curious.
Without a count, how would the array know how many objects it should
pop off the stack?
