* Objective-C allows you to create categories, effectively modifying
a class's interface at runtime.
C# provides "partial" class implementations for when you want to
split functionality across multiple module files (one use of
categories). When doing this, you have complete access to the
class's private and protected members, and the implementation is
truly part of the class.
When you are accessing only the public API for a class, C#'s
extension methods provide the same sort of syntax, but via static
methods that the compiler handles so as to make them look like they
are part of the original class.
Someone else addressed the IB implementation question, in a far more
authoritative way than I could have, so I'll leave that one alone.
