Well, the opposite of: "can store all strings" is: "can store only certain strings".
My point is that the number of unstorable strings is greater than zero. Whether it is 1 or any other number is quite beside the point.
If something does not work correctly, I insist of calling it "broken". Even if it might work correctly in most cases.
Some people obviously think otherwise (e.g. Apple engineers responsible for NSKeyedArchiver).
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
P.S. I have to admit that the wording "can store only certain strings" verges on the over-dramatic.
