Apple selfishly reserves the underscore prefix for its own private methods, and even goes so far as to suggest prefixing your own methods with ugly unique prefixes: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CodingGuidelines/Articles/NamingMethods.html Because clearly we don't need namespaces in a modern object oriented programming language. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
