That's exactly the point. Apple uses this everytime -forward:: is called. Why hide it now from us. It was available for years.

I never said, it's not possible. But it's a huge task to re-implement a general method like this. If you understand, that you have to treat every different argument type dynamically.

Not when we have to re-implement the same thing a few thousend times instead of just once! This is called redundancy, which you as a high level guy should know to avoid. That's the reason, why Apple implemented a general method in -forward::.
