Now, there's a great example of a major nugget that is nowhere in the docs.
It's perfectly true that even what I call the "Lesser Responder Chain" (for
events, as opposed to nil-targeted action messages) includes the
NSWindowController. But the only place I can find this fact mentioned is in
one of the release notes (AppKitOlderNotes.html).
Indeed, the whole responder chain is very poorly documented; you'd think
that, given its fundamental importance, there would be a single document
somewhere that just definitively lays out in complete detail how different
kinds of messages are passed up the responder chain, but there isn't
really. There is one document that seems to do it (AboutRespChain.html) but
in reality it is very incomplete. Mostly, the docs are scattered with
snippets of incomplete and sometimes contradictory hints.
