There's ConciseKit for precisely this problem: https://github.com/petejkim/ConciseKit

We use it in a lot of our code here. Its quite nice. You'll end up with something like:

myDict = $mdict(val, key, val2, key2);



And the values and keys are still backwards.


  #define KV(KEY,VALUE)   VALUE, KEY

  myDict = MD(KV(key,val), KV(key2,val2));
Ugly but a case can be made that this end justifies the means.

Another option is implementing your own dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys where you flip the varargs and feed them back into the subclass dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys.


wow thts pretty cool!
