[same disclaimers as Fritz]

As far as I know (see disclaimers), there's no reason you can't implement split 
view delegate methods just because you're using Auto Layout, as long as you 
aren't calling setFrame:.  I would guess it's perfectly all right to implement 
splitView:constrainSplitPosition:ofSubviewAt:, examine the proposedPosition 
argument, and allow the view's width to be either zero or >= the minimum width 
but not in between.

You might have to fiddle with constraints for the reason Fritz gives:

You could also add a *higher*-priority constraint that says the collapsed 
view's width must be 0, and this would trump the constraints that tend to push 
back.  I think.
