But I've never seen an application's Dictionary explain whether or

Applications can opt to override whose clause resolution (a
language feature) at various levels, but elements are the
responsibility of the application. Whatever the application
implements, a user can only distinguish by the result of a call,
not a dictionary description.
It used to be that dictionaries would include "meets a test" in the
descriptions of items that respond to "whose" clauses.
You're absolutely correct. My mistake not to remember that. In Cocoa,
this portion is elided because it's handled by different means.
