Incidentally, I typed that directly into my email from memory, and brain
short-circuited to AppleScript on the "end if" line.  That line doesn't
exist in my implementation... :)

I need to test if the value passed to my NSValueTransformer is an
NSTimeInterval.  Since NSTimeInterval is just a typedef from double and not
a class, I can't use the NSObject methods to test its type.

The best I can think of now is to test it with typeof() against
NSTimeInterval, but I think I should really allow any numeric type for this
transformer.

Currently my code says this:

- (id)transformedValue:(id)value;
{
	if (typeof(value) != typeof(NSTimeInterval)) { //bail if not
NSTimeInterval
		return nil;
	end if

	NSMutableString *result = [NSMutableString string];

	//do my stuff
	return result;
}

What is the best way to test this value to see if it is numeric, so my
transformer could be a little more flexible?
