NSMenuItem protocol and incompatible types.

The documentation for the NSMenuItem protocol states that it is to be
removed from AppKit, and that I should replace id <NSMenuItem> to
reference the class NSMenuItem. When I do NSMenu's method itemAtIndex:
complains of incompatible types.

Even typecasting as;
NSMenuItem *foo = (id <NSMenuItem>)[barMenu itemAtIndex:baz];
Gives the same warning. Requiring the typecast when depreciating the
protocol seems strange to begin with. What am I missing here?
