This question could also go to the Cocoa list, but I’m only asking it here.

This is about something I see when I use Xcode to create a subclass of 
NSWindowController, and elect to have the corresponding XIB file created at the 
same time. (Swift, Xcode 6.4, Mac OS X 10.10.5.)

In the IB editor, looking at the new XIB file, the class of the File’s Owner is 
identified as the new NSWindowController subclass. As expected.

But if I right click on the File’s Owner icon (or the window’s icon), I see two 
connections already set up:

1. The window’s delegate outlet points to the File’s Owner.
2. The File’s Owner has a window outlet pointing to the window.

My confusion comes from the fact that NSWindowController does not have a window 
outlet (that I can find documented), nor does the NSWindowController implement 
the NSWindowDelegate protocol. Why doesn’t the compiler complain about these 
two things?

As is often the case I may be missing something simple.
