You could add a category like so (warning, composed in Mail, no
errorchecking, etc.):

@interface NSArray(PerformWithSizeExtension)
- (void)makeObjectsPerformSelector:(SEL)aSelector
withSize:(NSSize)argument;
@end

@implementation NSArray(PerformWithSizeExtension)
- (void)makeObjectsPerformSelector:(SEL)aSelector
withSize:(NSSize)argument
{
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [self objectEnumerator];
id object;

while(object = [enumerator nextObject])
{
void (*implementation)(id,SEL,NSSize) = [object methodForSelector:
aSelector];
if(implementation != NULL)
{
implementation(object, aSelector, argument);
}
}
}

@end
