The implementation of objc_msgSend() is slightly worse than useless, and I 
suggest removing it. There are two problems:
* As far as I can see, it's trying to call a struct pointer as a function. Last 
I checked, this wasn't very reliable.
* Unless you're calling a method which takes no parameters and returns an 
object, it is necessary to typecast objc_msgSend to the appropriate signature, 
and you can't cast a statement expression. The ... is just there to confuse and 
frustrate people. Any working use of objc_msgSend() except trivial test cases 
won't work with a macro implementation.

Also, the comment for struct objc_property in properties.h ends partway through 
a word.
