The typical "one-time only" implementation looks like this:

@implementation MyClass
+initialize {
    if (self == [MyClass class]) {
        // do something once
    }
}

mmalc also pointed this out in another e-mail. I've been using this pattern
already for +initialize in my NSControl subclasses. I plan to use this
pattern for all my initialize code (some still use a static flag).

What is the reason to prefer this over a static flag?

No real strong reason. I just prefer to use the same patterns throughout my code if it makes sense to do so. Since the majority of my code already used the pattern above, I decided to make everything use it.
