Hey, Rick’s tree controller question reminded me that I’ve got one I’ve been 
meaning to ask:

With an NSOutlineView driven by an NSTreeController, I’m having trouble 
figuring out how to programmatically select an item: given one of my model 
objects, how do I tell the controller or view to select it?

NSTreeController has a .selectedObjects property, which is great for _getting_ 
the selection, but for some reason it’s a read-only property (unlike in 
NSArrayController), so I can’t use it to _set_ the selection.

But if I go through the outline view, its ‘item’ objects are the NSTreeNodes 
managed by the controller, not my model objects, and I don’t see any clean way 
to map from a model object to its tree node. It seems like I’d have to write a 
recursive function to search the entire NSTreeNode hierarchy for one whose 
representedObject is my model object. Surely that can’t be the only way to do 
this?
