How do I tell if a UIView is visible and on screen?

Question

If I have a UIView (or UIView subclass) that is visible, how can I tell if it's currently being shown on the screen (as opposed to, for example, being in a section of a scroll view that is currently off-screen)?

To maybe give you a better idea of what I mean, UITableView has a couple of methods for determining the set of currently visible cells. I'm looking for some code that can make a similar determination for any given UIView.

Not tried any of this yet. But CGRectIntersectsRect(), -[UIView convertRect:to(from)View] and -[UIScrollView contentOffset] seem to be your basic building blocks here.
