[Biococoa-dev] initWithSymbol

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Long live untyped methods ;-)
The problem is that you haven't told the compiler which class it should 
lookup the method in... (for instance:  [(id)theObject initWithChar: 
'a'] will give you the problem, [(BCSymbol *)theObject initWithChar: 
'a'] will not).

No, it's perfectly fine to use the same method names in different 
classes, in fact there are many examples and results in consistency. 
Example: initWithCapacity: )

	65 million years ago, there were more
                      dinosaurs than humans.
	     Where are the dinosaurs now?

    The requirements said: Windows 2000 or better.
    So I got a Macintosh.
