The compiler doesn't know what class the object belongs to. You're sending the
message either to a variable of type id or the result of a method that returned
id. The id type can hold any class, so if there are two identically named
methods with different signatures (BOOL return type vs. void, for instance), it
doesn't have enough information to pick the right signature.
