Add performBlock afterDelay

[MSch]

I'd like to add this category on NSObject

- (void)performBlock:(void (^)())block afterDelay:(NSTimeInterval)delay {
    // For some reason we need [block copy]
    // http://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2009-08-14-practical-blocks.html
    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007023/blocks-instead-of-performselectorwithobjectafterdelay
    [self performSelector:@selector(_fk_runBlock:) withObject:[block copy] afterDelay:delay];
}

- (void) _fk_runBlock:(void (^)())block; {
    block();
}

Thoughts?

+1, using this all the time in PSFoundation.

+1 on NSObject category

fyi: PSFoundation already has such a category including performing blocks with one parameter and canceling blocks (although I never tested the canceling)

I don't know about you, but I really like BlocksKit from zwaldowski (which also got forked from foundationkit - organization) und will use it in all future Apps. BlocksKit has adapted the category that was used in PSFoundation, which also supports canceling - so I personally don't see the need to redo this in FoundationKit.

I agree that we should use BlocksKit instead of of redoing everything.

IIRC though I needed to patch BlocksKit to make performBlock: work with ARC.
