That's its class, but that's not the question. The question is what  
the type of the expression in the compiler is, as it considers it for  
type mismatches (e.g., assigning an NSFoo *to an NSBar *variable).

If the type of the expression is NSString *or any variant thereof, the  
compiler should have warned us when we tried to pass that to a method  
argument that was clearly labeled an NSURL *. The fact that it didn't  
implies that the expression was of type id—but I can't imagine why,  
considering that the compiler should always know the type of one of  
its own literals.
