My thoughts with this stuff tend to go:

   1.  What the ... ?
   2.  That's really clever.
   3.  That's a really bad idea (see 2)

That’s how I feel about nil messaging, autorelease pools and proxy objects :-)

Hmm.. ;-)

You say "nil messaging", I say "pervasive optionals".

You say "autorelease pool", I say "deterministic delayed free".

You say "proxy objects", I say "first class variables".

And all of these aren't particularly clever in the sense of "so incredibly complicated that nobody can figure them out".

Maybe "hacky".
