Hello again,
In reference to my previous query, when did it become fashionable to have method category (protocol) names that signified the package? How does this help in navigating the system?
It’s quite confusing when I go to a system class in the browser and see a list of protocols like this,

Isn't there a field in the method header where we could store this, and still use the simpler standard list of protocols to assist in learning the system? Remember, the first rule of reuse is, “if you can’t find it, you can’t reuse it.”
