Some macOS AppKit software I wrote back in 2008-ish had a pattern where I’d do this:
#define kContentLayoutRectDidChangeContext "kContentLayoutRectDidChangeContext"
Comparing string literals is now a warning.
It also uses “@selector()” as a unique key for associated objects. It wasn’t a true selector. But it’d produce a stable key.
And along with a few deprecated API warnings that’s about it? Not bad for software that predates the iPad and started a year or so after iPhone shipped.
