This only happens when calling -style on an untyped (id) pointer. Cast the 
pointer to your class and you won’t have a problem. Instead of
        [[array lastObject] style]
use
        [(MyClass*)[array lastObject] style]
This has the added advantage that, if you ever renamed or removed your -style 
method, the compiler would be able to warn you if you didn’t fix this call.

I would rather have shorter, clearer names in framework classes. The 
name-collision thing doesn’t happen to me often, and when it does I just use a 
typecast like above.
