I did mean to mention something about this. It's never premature optimization to ask, "is there a better way of doing this?" But it is important to separate "better" from "more efficient", since the latter implies an assumption of inefficiency which often leads to long, unnecessary strolls down the path of complication. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
