Hello,

I'm implementing a method and I'm not sure what the behavior should be when 
detecting an anomaly.

Case in point: I have a method that iterates through an array of objects. As I 
traverse the array, I'm, checking whether the object in the array conforms to a 
custom protocol. If it does, everything is fine and I process it. However, if 
at some point I detect that the array contains a non-conforming object, what 
should the method do?:

a) skip the non-conforming object and continue processing and return a BOOL or 
fill an NSError?
b) stop processing and return a BOOL or fill an NSError?
c) throw an exception?

Since the method would end up processing less objects that the developer 
intended, I wonder what Cocoa developers would expect in this case...

Thanks,

-- Tito
