I agree with this completely.  The lack of this feature is the single most  
frustrating thing about Interface Builder (I had hoped it would be in 3.0...  
sigh...).  It is often desireable to change the behavior of a view without  
changing the drawing characteristics of the view.  This is trivial for windows,  
but a real pain for views.  The "Custom View" palatte doesn't cut it since that  
forces you to set most of the characteristics of the view from your code (like  
the title and options for a Button).
