Perhaps I am absolutely wrong,
You are.
but... well, I don't have "An Evolutionary Approach" at hand,
Well, then don't "quote" it! I've got it here at hand, and you can be
assured that it doesn't have any such reference.
but I _do_ have the NeXT (uh, Apple) docs,
That is a completely different document, and a revised one at that.
which seems to say:
=== .../TasksAndConcepts/ObjectiveC/coreobjc.htm ===
...
A class name can appear in source code wherever a type specifier is
permitted in C...
Which is only true for the newer variant of Objective-C, the one where
class-names actually *do* denote types.
I am talking about the previous versions where this wasn't the case and
you could only say 'id', not "NSMutableSet*".
Yes, I guess that makes me old, er, experienced..
