Isn't this a serious enhancement over Cocoa? As far as I can see,  
there's nothing stopping you from writing Cocoa-compatible code with  
GNUstep, so I'm not sure wether it's wise to introduce limitations  
just to enhance portability slightly. Any chance for a #ifdef  
COCOA_COMPATIBILITY compile time flag or even a runtime check (global  
flag which NSLog()'s a warning if set and this feature is used)?
