What was the compelling reason for you guys to use this functionality on 
purpose, ease of data access?

It seems like it might leave many loose ends and I'm looking for ways to reduce 
the amount of rope we use to hang ourselves.

What was the benefit it offered your team?

It's been a long time since I had that job, so it's a little fuzzy. I recall it 
being very helpful for classes that we couldn't subclass for some reason or 
other. I see one mention of it being used on each NSCell of some buttons in 
tool palettes.

The category method we added was objectUserInfo, which would attempt to get the 
associated object. If it was nil, it would create a mutable dict and set the associated 
object, and return the dict. That way, every object could have a dict 
"property" that could be used however the client wanted.
