It should also be noted that, by owning the trademark, Apple controls 
the definition of Objective-C.  At least until there's a standards 
committee for the language (then all bets are off).

So you're right, the full Objective-C language is only implemented in 
Apple's GCC 3.3 right now.  Doesn't mean the changes couldn't be 
migrated to FSF GCC, or implemented by any other Objective-C compiler 
(like CodeWarrior, or maybe someday IBM XLC).
