/* When the receiver of a method invocation is nil, the runtime
returns nil_method() as the method implementation. This function
will be casted to whatever function was supposed to be executed to
execute that method (that function will take an id, followed by a
SEL, followed by who knows what arguments, depends on the method),
and executed.
For this reason, nil_method() should be a function which can be
called in place of any function taking an 'id' argument followed by
a 'SEL' argument, followed by zero, or one, or any number of
arguments (both a fixed number, or a variable number !).
There is no "proper" implementation of such a nil_method function
in C, however in all existing implementations it does not matter
when extra arguments are present, so we can simply create a function
taking a receiver and a selector, and all other arguments will be
ignored. :-)
