While I'm not David, nor do I play him (or any David) on TV, here's my
two cents:

'I reopened NSNotification and added/defined [] for use.'

Short, sweet, to the point, and neutral in its connotation.


(I admit that I chose 'monkeypatching' earlier to actually invoke the
negative connotations. Reopening a class shouldn't be done lightly!)
