So you consider saving and loading to be an OO aspect of programming?
That's very unusual. I don't consider this to be an OO aspect at all,
but a general programming need.

Moreover, from an OO perspective, I personally find it distasteful for
business objects to have anyknowledge of presentation or persistence.
This even further created confusion over the idea of save/load methods
in objects being OOP.

Finally, I can have save/load methods in objects if I really wanted to.
What does Objective-C add to ease the burden and support the
aftermarket? I actually don't know, so this is a chance to explain or
evangelize.

Care to comment? I'd love to hear your perspective.
