- More general than that would be to specify the actual subclass of any
- view. So the grouping operation would simply wrap the selected views
- in a general superview of class View, and then you could specify the
- desired subclass of that superview. Also, a Button view could be
- subclassed to MyButton without having to provide a palette for it and
- custom inspector.

- If you want to discuss interface builder ideas like this, I encourage
- you to join the ibex mailing list
- (gnu-objc-ibex-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu). Ibex will be a portable,
- extensible interface builder, and copylefted source will be included.
