Thanks for the reply. I feared that. Currently, I resort to if ([obj isKindOfClass: NSClassFromString(@"NSBlock")]) … which evaluates to YES if `obj` is a block. However, NSBlock is not a public class, thus: NSClassFromString(@"NSBlock") which "works" as the time of writing in Mac OS, and returns a class whose name is "NSBlock" (the real block classes are named differently). I wish there was something official.
