Unless you recorded the original implementation before the category was
loaded of course, in which case you can stay at the OO level using the
methodForSelector: message.

You do not create a "Category". Instead, you create a normal C function with
the right signature that will be installed at runtime...

That can be done of course, but recording the implementation and then loading the category (from a bundle) is both easier and cleaner than (effectively) duplicating the category loader functionality in your code. Been there, done that.
