It's best to avoid [self class] for things like this, because your
class can be subclassed, causing bundleForClass: to give you the wrong
answer. You might even get the wrong answer if the subclass is one of
those fun dynamically-created subclasses that you get when using KVO.
To get the bundle that you're writing code for, either provide an
explicit class ([NSBundle bundleForClass:[MyFoo class]]) or use
bundleWithIdentifier:.
