I'm working with the text from a multiline NSTextField. When it arrives in the delegate it is represented in an NSBigMutableString. Casting this to a NSAttributedString seems to have no effect on the actual class being used by the NSString cluster.
I can't seem to find any documentation on NSBigMutableString.
Can someone with deep experience tell me if I can _safely_ assume that NSBMS will respect all of NSAttributedString's method calls ?
Also if I have a convenience function in a category, should I rewrite it as a category on NSString ? Or directly on the NSBMS, which seems to be a hidden class? Writing a category on a hidden class just doesn't feel right.
