Okay, I've updated my Xcode to the newest version and even in iOS 6.1 
files I still see distinct codepath for ObjC dispatch and standard CF 
handling.

So CF is not implemented on top of Foundation.



To sum things up, this is what I will do now:

1) After clearing things up, no changes to current const string struct 
are needed. CF calls should be (and actually are) dispatched to the ObjC 
class whenever isa != NSCFString.

2) I will implement missing NSCF* classes. I may occasionally ask for 
help, because for example in NSNumber's case it is not absolutely clear 
which methods need to be implemented in subclasses.

3) I will add missing dispatch calls into CF functions.

4) I may add missing CF types.
BTW, did you see how Apple implemented CFPropertyList? Did they really 
implement yet another XML parser in their code or am I too tired already?
