I would have implemented -firstResponder and set a breakpoint to see
who was calling it. You could also use otool or class-dump to get a
listing of methods that UIResponder implements.

Hah – Cocoa/Obj-C certainly has its shortcomings, but comparing it to
AppleScript? Ouch.
There was an interesting discussion about bringing namespaces to Obj-C
on cfe-dev last month:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/11746
Needless to say it's no small task, and the method-overriding problem
raised in this thread might not even be solved by Obj-C namespaces, as
it would depend entirely on how comprehensive the implementation was.
