Just to be clear, by what you said, this is a conflict with Apple's AppKit and QuartzCore Frameworks. 

It would be nice if the regular expression that matches "slots" did not match on "slots\s+[" or "slots\s+;" to allow for variable definition like this one form Apple's Cocoa.

Thanks for the clarification.
