I'm using a container UIView to house a UIImageView and do some custom drawing. At this point I'd like to do some drawing on top of my subview. So overriding drawRect: in my container UIView will only draw below the subviews.

Is there a way to overload drawRect: in my subview without subclassing it?

I think method swizzling may be the answer, but I'm hoping not.

(NOTE: yes, it would have been smarter to have the UIView be the subview of the UIImageView, but unfortunately I'm committed to my mistake now.)
