+<p>Given that sending messages is actually a different namespace than function resolution, it is important to separate out the analog of a "prototype" in the world of Objective-C from that in JavaScript. Therefore, a field called "messages" (may change) is also added to Class objects. These messages can even be traded around and reassigned, with the results fully mapping back to the Objective-C runtime.</p>
