NSOperation needs -isComplete or similar method

Summary:
An NSOperation can return YES for both -isCancelled and -isFinished. It seems counter-intuitive that an NSOperation can be both cancelled and finished.

However, since finished does not imply completed, I suggest that an -isCompleted method be added to NSOperation.

“Alice finished running a marathon after 3 miles, she didn’t complete it.”

There is one.

The API on NSOperation is called isFinished. You can see if the api was complete by looking at isCancelled. Ie, isCancelled == NO and isFinished == YES then the operation completed successfully.
