Yes. You can essentially repoint arbitrary methods with a category,
but
that is almost certainly not what you want. What is it that you
wish to
accomplish?
-M
I wasn't talking about overriding an existing -init method (although
that's another good question - should you?), I was talking about
*adding* new initializers via a Category.
At this point, all I'm trying to accomplish is learn all the ways
that Categories can be used ;)
They're a new concept for me, so I'm just trying to see where the
boundaries are.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is perhaps you have a
class with a lot of ivars and accessors, and you want to use a group
of them in some part of your code, and rather then having to make a
lot of [... setXXX] calls, create a convenience initializer that will
initialize the set of ivars you care about in one call.
