 {{{
 >> framework 'Foundation'
 => true
 >> thread = NSThread.alloc.initWithTarget(self, selector:'sleep:',
 object:'5')
 TypeError: unrecognized runtime type `'
 }}}

 Doing:

 {{{
 framework 'Foundation'

 class ExpensiveCalculation
   def start(to_process)
     puts "processing on a separate thread"
     exit
   end
 end

 calculation = ExpensiveCalculation.new
 thread = NSThread.alloc.initWithTarget(calculation, selector:'start:',
 object:'dummy_obj')
 thread.start
 }}}

 Works fine tho.
