Sorry, as I wrote, I was not sure. After your mail I checked and it is 
there on NSButton and NSButtonCell at least in my OpenStep specification 
(October 19, 1994, not sure if there are different versions). As this 
issue is becoming a bit strange now, would you mind to state explicitly 
what you and Alexander are aiming at?
My position is rather clear: Trying to improve our actual 
implementation, while keeping an interface that is compliant to OpenStep 
as well as to Cocoa. Which is fairly easy in this specific case, as the 
two are not conflicting. I hope, that you are with me here and we just 
keep this method and apply the rest of the patch.
