I was meaning Bernie's snip there I think, not your prior. I'm sleepy and not articulate right now.

Like Max notes, yours is good for learning components.

Bernie's too: he  cleared me up about nested messages a long time ago when I was asking why does his and some Cocoa have so many brackets?) :)  

 Observing similar steps within helped me last night to fathom some noxious QTCapture code which was initially confusing but then was seen to be using arrays, then sets, then keys and values from the sets.
 
I suppose Keys and Objects  are similar to Keys and Values in that dictionaries can hold about anything? Or is there another hierarchy to these dictionaries?

I do find the reliance on NSDictionaries and such in Cocoa land to be obfuscating at times.
