iOS: UITableView's header show on top of first row/section

Question

I am trying to make the first row of my UITableView to be shown on top of the table's tableHeaderView property with some offset.

Any idea how to do this with a table view ?

Answer 1

As pointed out by @Eiko, what I tried to do with my other answer is potentially insecure and can lead to unforseen circumstances.

What I ended up doing eventually is creating a new separate UIView and positioning it in the appropriate place as a subview of the UITableView to mimick the behaviour of the tableView's tableViewHeader property.
