[lots of good stuff snipped]

What happens for things like NSStringDrawing though? Those methods
*aren't* part of NSString unless you're working with AppKit. Now,
admittedly, most people work with AppKit so it's not a great example
but the point remains the same: Additional frameworks can add methods
to classes in other frameworks. How do you document this interaction?
