Details:

This change breaks equality testing for my subclass of NSString. Two strings
which are equal (one of which is an instance of my custom subclass of
NSString, and the other an instance of GSCInlineString) now return NO to the
isEqual: method.

Perhaps what was meant was to test [aString isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]
rather than [aString isKindOfClass:[self class]]? I just tried that change and
it fixes the problem for me, but I don't understand the intent of this line.
