Yes, I know. But Gordon already said the specific thing: "there is no 
documentation on [view-based outline views], zero, zip, nada, zilch".

This isn't just about programming guides. The delegate method 
'outlineView:viewForTableColumn:item:' isn't even mentioned in the 
NSOutlineViewDelegate protocol reference documentation. Zero, zip, nada, zilch.

Under the circumstances, I think it's a little hilarious to be asked to 
meticulously bug-report what will "'help us know what you are wanting to know".
