(1) How should I discharge my obligation regarding ObjC++ documentation? Given that there is next to no _ObjC_ documentation

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/ index.html

which discusses both ObjC and ObjC++. Would this be OK, and if so, where should I insert it?

If I weren't so far behind, I could help more here, but my general suggestion for this is to point at the ObjC book for the description of ObjC proper, then add a couple pages at the end of chapter 6, "Extensions to the C++ Language" that basically say "mutually oblivious" in different ways and with examples. A simple enumeration of what works and what doesn't should be pretty quick to compose, since you presumably had that in your head while hacking. :-)

Hmmm... Don't know what you mean by "the book", but chances are it is probably outdated by now (does it cover EH, for example?). :-)
