Re: Adding custom string encodings to NSString/CFString

That's my fallback position, but it doesn't feel elegant somehow. For one,
it loses functionality that's in NSString (ie NSString remembers the
original encoding and can therefore write the value using the original
encoding. IIRC.) It doesn't seem very object-oriented.

I just added a category to NSData to do hashing and encryption and was
stunned by the elegance of that, so I sort of expected something equally
cool :-)

Cheers,

Chris
