-- Usage:
-- Loading a class: objc_loadClass("MyClass")
-- Creating objects: MyClass.new() or MyClass.alloc().init()
   -- Retaining&Releasing objects is handled by the lua garbage collector so you should never need to call retain/release
-- Calling methods: myInstance:doThis_withThis_andThat(this, this, that)
   -- Colons in selectors are converted to underscores (last one being optional)
-- Creating blocks: objc_createBlock(myFunction, returnType, argTypes)
   -- returnType: An encoded type specifying what the block should return (Consult https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjCRuntimeGuide/Articles/ocrtTypeEncodings.html for reference)
   -- argTypes: An array of encoded types specifying the argument types the block expects
   -- Both return and argument types default to void if none are passed
