Could you elaborate a bit further on what you are missing with the
current functionality of NSView, and what you would gain with your
proposed setup? I'm not sure I get it.
You would like to be able to re-use a NSView as a subview of many
superviews, or several times per superview, why?
Why do you want to allow for overlapping views, are there cases when
that would be very practical or when that is the only way to solve some
problem?

Is it just me, or is the current view/subview setup less than ideal?
Right now,
A subview knows it's offset in the parent
A view only knows the array of subviews.
The ideal seems to me to be:
A subview knows itself.
A view knows the subviews and offset
At the very least, that would allow a subview to be in the parent view
two or more times, at different offsets/locations (just like cells in
a matrix); it would make overlaps entirely the function of the
containing (parent) view. If the subviews are considered an ordered
array (instead of an unordered set), then the ordering would also give
a definate answer to the question of how overlapping views are >
handled.
