(defun invoke (receiver message-start &rest message-components)
"Send a message to an Objective-C instance.
## Arguments and Values:
*receiver* --- an Objective-C wrapper object.
*message-start* --- a **symbol**.
*message-components* --- an alternating **list** of **object**s and
**symbol**s.
Returns: *result* --- the return value of the method invocation.
## Description:
All even-numbered *message components* are collected in order and the
resulting **list** used as if as additional **argument**s to
__invoke-by-name__.
All uneven-numbered *message components*, which must be **symbol**s, are
first split into parts separated by hyphens and each part converted into
a **string** according to the following rules:
1. 1. If the keywords' **symbol name**s do contain **lowercase**
**character**s, their case is left intact.
2. If the keywords' **symbol name**s do not contain any **lowercase**
**character**s, the following steps are taken in order to adjust
their case.
1. The first part is fully converted to **lowercase**.
2. Any additional parts are also fully converted to **lowercase**
except for their first letters, which are left intact.
2. If the symbol is a **keyword**, the resulting **string** is suffixed
by a **colon** (`:').
After that, all parts are concatenated in order to form a
single *message name component*. The *message name components* are in
turn concatenated in order to form the *message name* which is used as
if as the second **argument** to __invoke-by-name__.
## Examples:
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
:string-with-u-t-f-8-string \"Mulk.\")
;=> #
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
'|:stringWithUTF8String| \"Mulk.\")
;=> #
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
'self)
;=> #
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
'name)
;=> \"NSObject\"
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
:string-with-c-string \"Mulk.\"
:encoding 4)
;=> #
#.(setq \\*readtable\\* (copy-readtable))
#.(setf (readtable-case \\*readtable\\*) :invert)
(invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
:stringWithCString \"Mulk.\"
:encoding 4)
;=> #
## Note:
Setting the **readtable case** of the **current readtable** to `:INVERT`
is a good way of making the Lisp system behave as traditionally as
possible while making Objective-C method names case-sensitive.
On the other hand, writing all method names in lower case while
separating parts by hyphens works nicely in all of the `:INVERT`,
`:UPCASE`, `:DOWNCASE`, and `:PRESERVE` modes as well as Allegro CL's
*modern mode*.
## Note 2:
Instead of using __invoke__, which is neither macro-friendly nor very
useful for method selection at run-time, you may **funcall** selectors
directly. Naturally, __apply__ works as well.
The following calls are all equivalent:
(invoke-by-name instance \"stringWithCString:encoding:\" \"Mulk.\" 4)
(invoke instance :string-with-c-string \"Mulk.\" :encoding 4)
(funcall (selector \"stringWithCString:encoding:\") instance \"Mulk.\" 4)
(apply (selector \"stringWithCString:encoding:\") (list instance \"Mulk.\" 4))

(multiple-value-bind (message arglist)
(split-method-call message-start message-components)
(apply #'invoke-by-name receiver message arglist)))
(defun invoke-by-name (receiver method-name &rest args)
"Send a message to an Objective-C object by the name of the method.
## Arguments and Values:
*receiver* --- an Objective-C wrapper object.
*method-name* --- a *selector designator*.
*args* --- a list of **object**s.
Returns: *result* --- the return value of the method invocation.
## Description:
__invoke-by-name__ is like __invoke__ except in its syntax. It sends
the message whose selector is designated by *method-name*, which must be
either a *string*, a *symbol*, a list of message name components as in a
call to __invoke__, or an object of *type* __selector__, to *receiver*.
## Examples:
(invoke-by-name (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
'(:string-with-u-t-f-8-string) \"Mulk.\")
;=> #
(invoke-by-name (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
\"self\")
;=> #
(invoke-by-name (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
\"stringWithCString:encoding:\"
\"Mulk.\"
4)
;=> #
## Note:
__selector__ objects are funcallable. Therefore, the following calls
are all equivalent:
(invoke-by-name instance \"stringWithCString:encoding:\" \"Mulk.\" 4)
(invoke instance :string-with-c-string \"Mulk.\" :encoding 4)
(funcall (selector \"stringWithCString:encoding:\") instance \"Mulk.\" 4)
In fact, using __invoke-by-name__ is discouraged in favour of the latter
form.
## Rationale:
Whereas __invoke__ tries to make writing as well as reading method
invocations easy by interspersing method name components with arguments
as Objective-C does, __invoke-by-name__ is better suited for method
selection at run time as well as code generation. It is also slightly
easier to use with __apply__.
