Declaring a class should import its methods

[udo.killermann]

Bernd,

if I declare a Cocoa class (NS*), I shouldn't have the necessity to declare all its methods as well. It would be a nice feature if the compiler reads the method definitions from the header files and "knows" them right away. Now its tedious to write down all the method signatures, I mostly extract from the documentation or header files.

When I declare a framework I even have to name its header file, so the compiler should have the needed information at hand.

Regards,
Udo

Hi Udo,
I agree, but I believe it won't be that easy as it sounds first to implement this feature.
