One more thing…
Jens is correct, actually. If you remove the “import Cocoa” from the playground, you’ll see that the basic String class doesn’t even have cStringUsingEncoding. (!)
So, I conclude, importing NSString.h:
— adds NSString methods to class String as an extension, AND
— adds an entirely new NSString class with the NSString methods, BUT
— for some reason, omits UTF8String in the first case, but adds it in the second case.
