Never? The documentation for setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:
says, "You should call this method yourself for programmatically created
views." This means that programmatically created views cannot be added to
NSSplitView, NSTableCellView and other common container views.

The outcome of this is that I need to avoid NSSplitView, NSTableCellView,
etc. so that I can load (and reload) a custom view from a nib file.
Instead, I'll need to implement my own split views using constraints and
not rely on NSSplitView. I must call
setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO for my programmatically
created views.

NSTableView does add constraints that conflict with my subviews. Is
NSSplitView different? And did that difference happen in 10.8?

Being able to call setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO for
subviews of
NSSplitView would allow me to add programmatically created views to an
NSSplitView instance. I think that NSSplitView in 10.8 works better with
subviews with constraints (than 10.7), but I haven't been able to confirm
this from the documentation.
