…er method

The initWithCoder method is missing a call to [self init], so I modified the initWithCoder function to adhere to the standard initializer template.

I just saw the change log notation that the initWithCoder method no longer calls the init method. Ignore my pull request. But please explain why this was done?

It's tricky. initWithCoder is not supposed to call [self init] because then you'd probably be setting all the properties twice.

Ideally it would call [super init] or [super initWithCoder:], but that's not possible here since it's implemented as a category on NSObject, which has no superclass.
