And it can actually get you into trouble. +class returns self, so this won't do 
what you might think at first:

[[SomeClass class] instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(foo)]

One might think that asks if the SomeClass class object responds to foo, 
following the logic that [SomeClass class] would return SomeClass's metaclass. 
In fact, as Mike describes, it is equivalent to [SomeClass 
instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(foo)].
