There was also a recent and rather extensive discussion of this issue under the subject title of "ObjC Wish List" on the Omni developer list.

You can pull it up by searching for "ObjC Wish List" on http://cocoa.mamasam.com.

Is there anywhere to monitor or suggest changes to the Objective-C language? For example, I am interested to know if one day Objective-C classes will support:

a) Namespaces/packages.
b) Generics/parameterized types.
c) Abstract classes, or at least some way to enforce that a class cannot be instantiated directly.
d) Method overloading.

I know that Objective-C++ provides this support but only if you are using C++ classes. I am interested if the above will be supported in "native" Objective-C classes. I know that people will have lots of for-and-against arguments for the above but being a simple programmer some of the above would be very useful.

Thanks, David.
