I knew the Objective C support caem from Apple/NeXT originally, but was
unaware of that level of support for GCC from them. They don't shout
about that very much - they make a lot more noise about areas where I
don't think they've offered a lot. Maybe that's just a case of bad image
though. In the light of your comments, I'll give them the benefit of the
doubt, I suppose :-).
