In the grand scheme of things, what is the practical difference
between implementing functionality in a plain C function versus an
obj-c class method? Don't they accomplish the exact same thing except
the latter associates the functionality very specifically with a
particular group of functionality?
Class methods are inherited by, and may be overridden by, subclasses.
Also, since they're dispatched dynamically, they can be intercepted by
poseAsClass, etc. where a POC (plain-old C) function cannot.
