There was a pretty serious proposal floated on objc-language earlier this year 
(by a non-Apple person), but as far as I can tell it devolved into a bunch of 
arguing over details, and didn’t go anywhere. (And further discussion thereof 
should probably take place on that list, not here.)

Until then, yeah, you should put a prefix in front of method names in 
categories on system classes, the same way you do on your own class names. 
(i.e. -xx_setWidget:).
