Speculation: This may be like the -window property of NSWindowController. 
Accessing it is the recommended way to force the controller to instantiate the 
window, even if you don’t care about the result.

In this case, _you_ may not care what super’s NSSplitViewDelegate methods do, 
but NSSplitViewController needs to hear about the events they represent.
