While it is true that this gives you the application object,  
#expiryPathFor: is more of a getter than a setter. It *returns* a new  
path, it doesn't set a path. What Richard should have said instead of  
"the way to do this is to use #expiryPathFor:' was "the way to do this  
is to *override* #expiryPathFor:'. And then the question becomes how  
to create (not access) an application as a different class.
