I'm aware that this is a bad idea, but how are people overiding Cocoa's
behavior system wide? A lot of people have hacks that mess with the
way windows behave or the text system.
The ways people do this are various. If there is a hidden option that
can be changed with a defaults database key, people have done that, but
for more extreme stuff a combination of preloading libraries via a dyld
feature (and a library called libPatch) and modifying running
applications' memory is normally used (I'm talking about things like the
Unsanity Haxies). Also note that you'll have to write your code twice if
you want to modify Carbon apps' behaviour.
