The new -forwardingTargetForSelector: method in Leopard makes this sort of forwarding super easy

Until some months later, when you're debugging a "unrecognized selector sent to class B" message. Ah, three hours later, you realize that the message was actually sent to class A but was forwarded to class B.

Surely you'd notice that in the exception's backtrace though?

However, that should only be the case if you unconditionally forward messages to another object. Sometimes that is the desired behaviour, in which case the exception is meaningful. In this case, where finite functionality is being added to the derived classes, they could conditionally forward only the required methods.
