I'm working with the text from a multiline NSTextField. When it arrives in the 
delegate it is represented in an NSBigMutableString. Casting this to a 
NSAttributedString seems to have no effect on the actual class being used by 
the NSString cluster. 

I can't seem to find any documentation on NSBigMutableString.  

Can someone with deep experience tell me if I can _safely_ assume that NSBMS 
will respect all of NSAttributedString's method calls ?

Also if I have a convenience function in a category, should I rewrite it as a 
category on NSString ? Or directly on the NSBMS, which seems to be a hidden 
class? Writing a category on a hidden class just doesn't feel right.
