-Objective-C Method Families
----------------------------
-
-Many methods in Objective-C have conventional meanings determined by their
-selectors. It is sometimes useful to be able to mark a method as having a
-particular conventional meaning despite not having the right selector, or as
-not having the conventional meaning that its selector would suggest. For these
-use cases, we provide an attribute to specifically describe the "method family"
-that a method belongs to.
-
-**Usage**: ``__attribute__((objc_method_family(X)))``, where ``X`` is one of
-``none``, ``alloc``, ``copy``, ``init``, ``mutableCopy``, or ``new``. This
-attribute can only be placed at the end of a method declaration:
-
-.. code-block:: objc
-
- - (NSString *)initMyStringValue __attribute__((objc_method_family(none)));
-
-Users who do not wish to change the conventional meaning of a method, and who
-merely want to document its non-standard retain and release semantics, should
-use the :ref:`retaining behavior attributes <langext-objc-retain-release>`
-described below.
-
-Query for this feature with ``__has_attribute(objc_method_family)``.
