Of course it's not your only other option.
Asking for types in this way in an object-oriented environment really is a bad
code smell. There's almost certainly an easier/more straightforward way to
achieve whatever your actual goal is, but taking it at face value, just make a
composite object:
@interface TypedObject: NSObject
{
id theObject;
NSString* theType;
}
- (id) initWithObject:(id) object ofType:(NSString*) type;
- (NSString*) type;
- (id) object;
@end
It still stinks, but it's at least clean.
