So it seems like IB is missing the ability to rearrange the view
hierarchy after the fact... I have a couple of NSBox items and I want
to put an additional control into them.
The only way I can see doing this is to delete (ungroup) the existing
items and then put the new control in there and then re-group them.
This is pretty lame if it's the only way to do this. I have a lot of
connections to this NSBox that will all have to be done (error prone to
redo them all). I also have the sizes all just right for the several
NSBox objects that share a space in the visual UI and to have to type
all those dimensions in again.... ack!
Too many other visual editors have solved this problem long ago, so I'm
really hoping that IB has also and I'm just too tired to see it (can't
find in online help either).
Thanks in advance.

P.S. If there isn't any way to do this currently other than the
ungroup/re-group technique I describe above, then I hereby request a fix
for this limitation! :-)
