I'm coming across the odd instance where the use of a class

I can do this with a static definition in the class implementation
file, I suppose.
Question is: is this particularly frowned upon in the Cocoa world?
If so, why?
Static variables within the scope of the file are the way to go. It
isn't particularly frowned upon, but initialization can sometimes be
tricky.
OK. Thanks Bill (and Luke).
As well, global variables are generally an impediment to subsequent
refactoring;
Not likely to be a problem in the present case.
what if you want two distinct and isolated subsystems that would
then need their own distinct versions of the globals, for example?
You'd have to do a global search and replace, I suppose? :-)
