I didn't quite follow this thread, but I'm pretty sure that ObjC
has a concept of abstract classes the most prominent being NSObject :)
Nope, you can freely instantiate and use NSObject (just like *any*
other class) in Objective C. There is absolutely no concept of an
abstract class in the language.
There are in a sense "abstract" classes in the API, namely clusters
(NSArray, NSString, etc.). There, though, the abstraction is ensured
runtime (generally re-implementing init and alloc, other ways
possible): a re-factoring tool has no way to determine whether it is
so indeed or not.
