I just noticed +loadNibNamed:owner: is actually in a category of

be documented on a page with a title like "Application Kit

Woah... so sending NSBundle a -loadNibNamed: message would make the
NSBundle the File's Owner of the NIB? Who would you send the
message
to? This seems like a bad idea.
You would send the message to the object you want to be the File's
Owner.
Instead of:
BOOL didLoad = [NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"MyNib" owner:myObject];
...you would say:
BOOL didLoad = [myObject loadNibNamed:@"MyNib"];
...thus leaving out any mention of bundles as an implementation
detail. It would then be correct to say that the File's Owner
would be the object that loaded the nib.
And then how would you know where to find the nib in question? :)
I guess I am reinforcing the argument that one needs code samples to
express oneself. :)
You can add -loadNibNamed: to NSObject yourself, right now:
- (BOOL)loadNibNamed:(NSString *)aNibName
{
return [NSBundle loadNibNamed:aNibName owner:self];
}
This would use the logic that +loadNibNamed:owner: uses for deciding
what bundle to look for the nib in (see the docs for the method). If
you want more control over what bundle is used, you could write an
NSObject method that wraps around -[NSBundle
loadNibFile:externalNameTable:withZone:]. I leave that as an exercise
for the reader.
