Beyond that, there should be little for developers working at the

Also: "On a Macintosh using an Intel microprocessor, Objective-C
messages
sent to nil return garbage for return values that are typed as
float or
double. On a Macintosh using a PowerPC microprocessor these messages
return 0.0."
Of course, no one is relying on the PPC behaviour, right? :)
Actually, I do, in just one place!
It also says that division by zero on the PPC returns zero whereas on
the Intel is raises an exception. That one I certainly don't ever
make use of (because I never knew it was the case :-)
