I've run up against this situation more than once and I'd be interested in any

I have a subclass of NSObject that provides its own designated initializer that
allows client code to configure an instance with initial values. Instances of
the class itself are immutable. At the same time, instances where no initial

I have several methods for which I'd like to provide asynchronous and
