And lastly, I recommend filing a bug against the documentation in this
case. NSInvocation is not really suited for this particular task, and
I don't understand why they would recommend it here.

One possible reason is for proxying or otherwise handling unimplemented
methods dynamically. There is a well-defined mechanism for what happens if
you send a message to an object that doesn't directly implement a method for
that message. A class can decide to forward the message, or it can do
something funky in an override of doesNotRecognizeSelector:. That mechanism
does kick in for performSelector:… and NSInvocation but doesn't for
methodForSelector:.

Works fine for me:

Interesting. I guess I was misled by the part of the methodForSelector: documentation where it suggests using respondsToSelector: to test if the selector is "valid".


Never mind. ;)
