How is this possible?

I wrote code in Snow Leopard to create an array with a single object using

     NSArray *myArray = [ [NSArray alloc] initWithObject:oneObject ] ;

and it worked fine. When it crashed in either Leopard or Tiger, I went to NSArray documentation and found out that it does not have the method initWithObject. Once I found that out, it was easy to fix with the proper

NSArray *myArray = [ [NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:oneObject ,nil] ;

But, the remaining questions are:

1. Why would the initWithObject: compile in the first place? (perhaps because one of my custom classes defines an initWithObject: method)

2. Even if it compiles, how can it run in Snow Leopard when there is no initWithObject: selector for NSArray (or at least according to the NSArray docmentation there isn't one)?
