Hi,

Actually I'm wondering what Apple did with this issue.  Note that
according to their documentation the signatures of

NSDictionary's objectForKey:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSDictionary_index.html

NSUserDefaults' objectForKey:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSUserDefaults_index.html

don't match either.  And this new warning was also brought to FSF's gcc
by one of Apple's "objc improvements" merges.  Does their current
compiler also issue these warnings?

My personal preference would be to adapt NSUserDefault's signature (I
think we have yet another mismatching signature in Additions somewhere).

Cheers,
David
