	<longdescription>
		The GNUstep Objective-C runtime is designed as a drop-in replacement for the
		GCC runtime.  It supports both a legacy and a modern ABI, allowing code
		compiled with old versions of GCC to be supported without requiring
		recompilation.  The modern ABI adds the following features:
		- Non-fragile instance variables.
		- Protocol uniquing.
		- Object planes support.
		- Declared property introspection.

		Both ABIs support the following feature above and beyond the GCC runtime:
		- The modern Objective-C runtime APIs, introduced with OS X 10.5.
		- Blocks (closures).
		- Low memory profile for platforms where memory usage is more important than speed.
		- Synthesised property accessors.
		- Efficient support for @synchronized()
		- Type-dependent dispatch, eliminating stack corruption from mismatched selectors.
