Small comment...it _is_ recoverable if one notices the empty methods before saving the class. Since it usually happens when editing/testing/editing a class, I discovered that it was pretty obvious when this was happening. If I just closed the class w/o saving, did a "CLEAR ALL, RELEASE ALL, CLICK HEELS TOGETHER THREE TIMES" then reopen the class, the method code would be back.
