No, and it’s quite difficult to do.  We can automatically extract the list of 
methods that exist for classes in GNUstep vs Cocoa, but some methods in GNUstep 
are stubs or do not have complete functionality.  Some are more subtle (for 
example, GNUstep’s NSTableView does not yet allow the delegate to use views 
instead of cells) and even more difficult to automatically extract.  Generally, 
features are implemented when someone needs them.
