Recently, I've noticed many people asking basic C questions on this list. Questions about conditional expressions, pointers, return values. This bothers me. Newbie Objective-C questions are one thing (though I am getting heartily tired of seeing "when do I retain/release" questions), and I don't have a problem with newbie AppKit questions, but C?


With this is the very nagging question along the lines of "How do I call Gestalt() in Objective-C".

Come ON people.. Objective-C, is still C, and as such, not _everything_ needs to, or _should_ have an objective wrapper around it.
Sometimes a routine is just-a-routine..

Don't dig your heels in because you don't send it a message.
