They're listed in the class reference docs, although not in a very
consistent manner. In NSDictionary's docs, there's a section titled
"Primitive Methods". For NSArray and NSString, there's a "Methods to
Override" subsection under the "Subclassing Notes" section. In
NSMutableDictionary's docs, they're described in the first paragraph of the
main overview, rather than in a section of their own.
