;;; (@* "Method invocation")
(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. 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.

3. 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.\")
      ;=> #<GSCBufferString `Mulk.' {5B36087}>

    (invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
            'self)                           
      ;=> #<NSObject `NSObject' {16ECF598}>

    (invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
            'name)                           
      ;=> \"NSObject\"

    (invoke (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
            :string-with-c-string \"Mulk.\"
            :encoding 4)
      ;=> #<GSCBufferString `Mulk.' {5B36087}>

  __invoke-by-name__"

  (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.\")
      ;=> #<GSCBufferString `Mulk.' {5B36087}>

    (invoke-by-name (find-objc-class 'ns-object)
                    \"self\")
      ;=> #<NSObject `NSObject' {16ECF598}>

    (invoke-by-name (find-objc-class 'ns-string)
                    \"stringWithCString:encoding:\"
                    \"Mulk.\"
                    4)
      ;=> #<GSCBufferString `Mulk.' {5B36087}>


## 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__.
