xcode

I am fairly new to XCode and the Objective-C language.

When I am instantiating a class, for example an NSMutableArray, XCode will provide a whole lot of auto-complete options. Even for an empty class which simply extends an NSObject has many options, most of which seem completely useless.

What is the reason for having so many auto-complete options, or can they be "tamed" in the preferences?
