   One thing that I think would be REALLY useful would be a "Group in
   arbitrary view" function which would encapsuluate both of the above, plus
   be more extensible.

-------

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.
