Pragma to Distribute Copies of Methods

Folks,

I’d like to implement a pragma that causes the method wherein the pragma invocation is contained to overwrite all other methods of the same name.  This is to implement a lightweight “Generalization Interface” feature.  I’m not sure there is a clean way to do this.  It seems that pragmas are really meant to annotate methods so that they can be found at a later time.  So the only way I’ve found to execute code when you’re saving a method with a pragma is to add a hook into Behavior>>addSelector:withMethod:.   This won’t work with code stored in BOSS files, but this doesn’t concern me. 

So, is there a better way to do this?

One could override #changeSelector:class:attributes: and #addSelector:class:attributes: in ChangeSet, or otherwise hook into ChangeSet or XMainChangeSet.
