...I find the documentation on NSValueTransformer's +transformedValueClass
bizarre. We are declaring a class, but what class? It is perfectly legal for
a reversible transformation to transform a class A object into a class B
object and (reversing) a class B object into a class A object, so which
should I return from transformedValueClass - A or B?



there is a bug in the current doc (which has been fixed already) that says that the transformedValueClass is used in both the 'forward' and reverse transformations.. it is actually only used in the 'forward' one.



Even more, what does it matter? My experiments show that I can return
anything I like from transformedValueClass and my transformer works just
fine. So what's the point of this method? Does it really do anything?
	it is useful information to the runtime.
