When I did that, I started getting an exception whenever trying to add anything to the dictionary (CFString.c:1173). It took me a while to figure it out, and it is due to GSDictionary setting GSI_MAP_RETAIN_KEY() being set to call -copyWithZone:. For some reason, whenever that happens I get a NSCFType does not recognize -copyWithZone: exception.

I think it is because the key of a NSDictionary is always copied to prevent e.g. problems when
using a NSMutableString as a key and change its value on the fly...
Ah... Makes sense. I guess I'll need to add that method to NSCFType.
Why aren't you using a NSArray/CFArray to simulate a NSSet? They are much more similar than
dictionaries and sets.
I'll take a look into it. Thanks for the pointer.
Thanks
