Actually shame on us --- TextEdit should be NSDocument based indeed, but
it just didn't make it in. In the meantime, in case someone needs it,
it serves as an example of how to get all the tedious stuff done that
NSDocument would normally do for you. (Exchanging files, putting stuff
in recents menus, dealing with hidden extensions...)

I believe so.
