That's a very interesting and _not_ a useless remark to my mind.

When overriding superclass or implementing delegate methods with the very long names that are in Cocoa, this seems like a problem. Of course, using the completion mechanism helps a lot, but this doesn't show you that the method/function name is somehow special, or should be...

Maybe the Xcode people could be coaxed to specially mark method or function names defined elsewhere?

Oh, by the way, just speaking of "experienced programmers". Last four-odd hours I've spent finding why the dickens one of my classes does not get the +initialize message. Has been pretty complex, for the class just happens to be accessed the very first time not directly by sending a "normal" message, but through a moderately complicated nest of HOM-generated invocations. Nice and cosy time with gdb, tea, and a lot of chin scratchin'.

Just the very now I've found the mysterious culprit: my method name was spelled "initalize" :D
