My first reaction was: "Elegantly put!"  But then I thought, isn't *not* 
generating this kind of code one of the reasons we tell people nibs are good?  
Wouldn't a .m be a good place to "document" targets and actions as well?  And 
delegates and other outlets?  Or do you think there's something about bindings 
that makes them subtle enough that for *them*, in some cases, it might make 
sense to "document" them by coding them?
