What on earth is a delegator? Do you mean 'delegate'? I believe that
is the terminology I used, and with good reason - it's the normal
jargon for this design pattern (not just on Cocoa and Obj-C but most
other languages too). In normal English, a 'delegator' would be one
who delegates. That's not what the object is in this case,
I haven't been reading closely enough to know if John was confusing
the delegator with the delegate, but in fairness I think it's pretty
clear what the intended meaning of "delegator" is. An Xcode search
shows the word is even used in the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide: "Some of
the delegator classes are NSApplication, NSText, and NSWindow."
