Just thinking a bit.

IB has great facilities for extension (palettes, etc.).  It also has
OK facilities for managing view hierarchies. (grop, group in scrollview).

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.

So for example you could group in scrollview, group in NXSplitView, group
in box, group in "MyHackedView", etc.  I'm not too into building up 
complex view hierarchies by hand when there's a perfectly reasonable
facility to design them.

Comments?  IS NeXT listening?
