In Cocoa, you can write @selector(mySelectorNameWithObject:) to get a compiled SEL, or at runtime, NSSelectorFromString(@"mySelectorNameWithObject:") with return a SEL. According to Apple documentation:

The only thing that makes the selector method name different from a plain string is that the compiler makes sure that selectors are unique.

But I can’t seem to use a SEL object as a string without crashing. Is there a way to take a SEL and get back an NSString object? Basically I’m looking for the exact opposite of NSSelectorFromString().

Thanks in advance.
