That makes sense.  Strictly speaking, you need to send it to whatever
registered using -objectDidBeginEditing:.  Since none of AppKit
classes other than the controllers actually declare conformance to
NSEditor, this could theoretically be anything.  Like a private
category on NSTextView.  I'm too lazy to actually run class-dump on
NSText{,View,Field,FieldCell} to see what it could be.

I guess the moral is "don't take shortcuts."  If you want to commit
editing, send -commitEditing: to your controller.  That in turn should
just send it off to its registered editors, without concern for the
type of editor it is.
