My application has a scripting feature where I compile an in-memory assembly from the user's script using CodeDomProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource. It's similar to what's described in this answer.

I've just been bitten by an annoying bug that was made obscure by the "send message to nil is ok" behaviour in Objective-C. I've seen http://stackoverflow.com/questions/156395/sending-a-message-to-nil, and the consensus seems to be 'thats how we roll' in Objective-C. Now, maybe I don't have enough experience in Objective-C, but it seem...
