I didn't want to get involved in this thread, but I have to disagree. "is" could have at least two meanings in an Objc environment:

Technically that's true, but I think the understanding would be intuitive that "a is b" would have the same meaning as "a == b," which means "a points to the same memory address as b." That's just how Objective C works.

[a equals b] or [a isEqualTo b] are the more common idioms used for actual value comparison... which is something that's useful for NSString and NSNumber and not a whole heck of a lot else, in my experience.
