/**
 * <p>The <code>NSInvocation</code> class implements a mechanism of constructing
 * messages (as <code>NSInvocation</code> instances), sending these to other
 * objects, and handling the returned values.
 * </p>
 * <p>An <code>NSInvocation</code> object may contain a target object to which a
 * message can be sent, or may send the message to an arbitrary object.<br />
 * Each message consists of a selector for that method and an argument
 * list.  Once the message has been sent, the invocation will contain
 * a return value whose contents may be copied out of it.
 * </p>
 * <p>The target, selector, and arguments of an instance be constructed
 * dynamically, providing a great deal of power/flexibility.
 * </p>
 * <p>The sending of the message to the target object (using the -invoke
 * or -invokeWithTarget: method) can be done at any time, but a standard
 * use of this is by the [NSObject-forwardInvocation:] method which is
 * called whenever a method is not implemented by the class of the
 * object to which it was sent.
 * </p>
 * <p>Related to the class are two convenience macros ... NS_MESSAGE()
 * and NS_INVOCATION() ... to allow easy construction of invocations
 * with all the arguments set up.
