That's rather my point.  You should not be relying on implementation details of 
the runtime in your code.  The runtime's public interface is documented here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ObjCRuntimeRef/Reference/reference.html

If you use any functions not listed here, then you are in 'here be dragons' 
territory.   The runtime makes no promise that a future point release will not 
break your code.  

You do not need to be an expert on the implementation of ANY Objective-C 
runtime to write good Objective-C code.
