I have a large class I'm archiving that I would like to lazy-load.
It's basically a wrapper around a NSArray and what I'd like to do is
load some instance variables but leave the array archived until a
later time in order to save time and memory.
When I implement the NSCoding protocol methods initWithCoder: and
encodeWithCoder: is it a bad idea to de-archive the keys that I need
and just retain the NSCoder object so that I can later de-archive the
NSArray? Is there any problem keeping the NSCoder object around for
long periods of time? Is there a better way of doing this?
I'd hate to have to archive two separate objects in order to implement
this, one which is the actual class with a placeholder array and then
the large array separately, but I guess that's another way to go.
