Description

Add TBase protocol for cocoa generator. By having all generated classes declare conformance of this protocol allows tighter type checking in compile time. One could use "id<TBase>" instead of "id" when passing these objects around. This is also inline with other OO languages' implementation like csharp, python and php.
