[hoc-users] Impossible to write an init method or call superclass methods?

[Dan K. <da...@gm...>]

The title is just what it says.  Without a lot more understanding of
the internals of HOC, I can't write an init method because its
argument is a NewlyAllocated object and it needs to return one that
isn't.  The workaround, of course, is to have the code that creates
your object use NSObject's init method instead, and then have a method
myInit or something that does the actual work...  This would even be
perfectly fine, if there were a way to get the method to do that for
itself, but there isn't, because, as a separate issue, you can't call
superclass methods; any attempt winds up recursing instead.

None of the examples feature init methods, because all the classes
defined in Haskell in them are created in nib files.

Well, I guess this is just a bug report, I haven't really got a
question.  I can do without init methods.
