Well, that's what I'd like. Given that you can't hide completely 
selectors as an implementation detail and that programmers might need 
to specify them from time to time -- which is all the time when 
declaring extern Objective-C classes! -- I thought it'd be very much 
appreciated if the syntax for that wasn't too unreadable.

That said, if Walter doesn't like it I could change it to a more 
"standard" pragma syntax:

	pragma(objc_selector, "insertIdemWithObjectValue:atIndex:")
	void insertItem(ObjcObject object, NSInteger value);

It's more verbose and less readable, but it'd work too.
