Yes, I read that. I had hoped that I'd be able to add ivars before the class was instantiated. In this case, the class is being loaded dynamically at run time. Is there no way to get in the middle of the load and add an ivar?

In any case, sure seems like I ought to be able to do it in +initialize.

I'll try objc_setAssociatedObject(). Thanks.
