[Openmcl-devel] Sending Variable-Arity Cocoa Messages

[Randall Beer]

:array-with-objects is certainly predefined as a variable arity message 
in the bridge.

I'm headed out of town for a few days, so if there is some problem with 
the bridge's handling of variable arity messages, I'll try to get to it 
over the weekend.
