I guess it’s a matter of design preferences here. Both will fit the bill. Composition over inheritance.

Use categories as you would use ”mixins”, if you just wanto to add a extra flavor to your class (here NSMutableArray), it’s a good fit to do it with category. To have the category available you need to have the import "AGNSMutableArray+Paging.h”

Besides, if you send a next/previous message on a NSMutableArray without Pipe, nothing happen.
