Ditto. Guys, whatever floats your boat, okay? Is this really the best
forum? I only wish Cocoa was so easy and transparent that we really
had nothing
better to do on this list than argue about whether '==' or 'is' is
easier on the eyes.


That Apple engineers are suggesting this terrible technique on CocoaDev, where there are a lot of impressionable young programmer minds, means to me that this discussion is as relevant as any other...

Nobody is arguing, everyone has their own side, and this is one thing which is not going to cause any flame war, I assure you.

I was just pointing out that one bad habit could only lead to another one ... and that it's a bad thing for a C programmer to do, to re-define the language semantics using macro's, because it makese even more unreadable code.
