Category syntax is a bit odd from my point of view. Their name doesn't

language) rather than categories.

I suppose that this is a better way to go if you want your extensions
to be as close to ObjC as possible. The current syntax would be
confusing for both ObjC and Java developers.
According to Cocoa/OpenStep practice, init* should be an instance
method. The corresponding class method would be newWithFoo:andBar:, or
fooBarWithFoo:andBar: if it autorelease the return value. Also, the
return type should be OBJECT to allow clean overriding of superclass
initialisers with the same name.
