   Yeah, but just like alot of other arguments going on in this thread, i
think we all petty much know that a PERFECT tool will not be
efficiently possible for Obj-C, there are to many (normally useful)
cases that depend too much on the the runtime context. But I think that
having some sort of tool that _could_ do the bulk of the clear-cut work
for you would be nice. Saying that, I must must also agree with
whomever said this earlier, that if you take a bit of extra time at the
get-go and proscribe names in your code that make sense, you won't have
to deal with this too much.
