[Biococoa-dev] NSValue addition

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Although certainly very handy, the way how I usually do this is to have 
comparison objects in the wrapper objects we use. For instance in my 
enzymeX object that represents a cut in the DNA, I have a method 
sortOnCutPosition. Next, you can simply do [theArrayWithCutObjects 
sortUsingSelector: @selector(sortOnCutPosition:)]; That works 
beautifully, and again shows how useful this decorator/wrapper objects 
are we discussed earlier.... Nevertheless, nice to see these new 
possibilities added!
Cheers,
Alex

	Claiming that the Macintosh is inferior to Windows
	because most people use Windows, is like saying
	that all other restaurants serve food that is
	inferior to McDonalds
