We had assumed that outlineView:objectValueForTableColumn:item was not
called if the table was bound to a NSTreeController.  Wrong assumption.  If
we returned the correct value, or just eliminated this method, it mostly
works correctly.  However, there a few anomalies. The outline text indents
properly, but the disclosure indicator occasionally (and randomly) appears
anywhere it wants within the column/row.  Also, scrolling by clicking the
bar lower sometimes results in flipping down to the right level, then
immediately flipping back up to the view top.
