You could find nothing the docs chiefly because this isn't an Objective-C
matter. Scoping of variables is as in C. You might want to read an
elementary C textbook - Kernighan and Ritchie is still the best.

Also, see the examples in ClassClusters.html and in NSObject.html (under
+initialize).

What you're doing isn't bad, but I think the examples I've pointed to above
will give you some more to think about. m.
