Hey Scott and Conrad,
I may be getting into some ... bad territory here, but what I am trying to achieve is the following...
First, the init method I posted belongs to CFAString.
CFAString is an aggregate that contains a reference to an NSString (and other objects) and is also meant to mimic NSString but with a slightly simpler interface.
It's part of a project I'm working on that is geared towards artists who have little experience programming. So, with the (id) I am trying to introduce a bit of redundancy.
I have made a variety of other classes CFAImage, CFAShape, CFAMath, CFAColor, etc... which follow the same principles. At the moment I'm working on the CFAString class.
Thanks for the advice. Even though I am interested in maintaining syntax similar to Obj-C, I'll look into changing method names, and the prefix as well.
Cheers,
T
