It's useless without *a* foundation framework, but Foundation is not
the only one.
I did a great deal of productive work in Objective-C before ever
touching any libraries with a NeXT/Apple heritage. From that
perspective, everything that starts with NS is outside the language
and in libraries. From a pure Apple perspective it's not so clear.
Various Apple additions such as properties and garbage collection have
blurred the line even further. But still, ObjC can be quite useful
without Foundation.
