Since it is *not* just a wrapper around an index (what's an index for
NSSet,
for example?), it is worth having.
Ah, but then why is it worth having enumerators for NSArrays?
My point re: FIFOs is that a FIFO implementation is something that many
people have to do over and over, and that for that reason it's
worthwhile to put a FIFO object in the foundation kit.
For a similar example, it's only about a line of code to expand the
tilde in a path or extract the filename extension, but my position is
that it's still worthwhile to have the NSPathUtilities category on
NSString in the AppKit.
I think you and I are simply not going to agree on this point, so I'm
going to drop the matter.
