Protocols aren't inherited. You can inherit an implementation of the
NSObject protocol, by writing a subclass of the NSObject class, but that's a
very different animal.

Conforming to a protocol is an all-or-nothing affair - you have to implement
*all* of the protocol's methods. The informal protocols I'm aware of tend to
have one or more optional methods.
