After having search through the archive, I found little to no mention

functionality in our own apps (i.e., on an NSView or NSWindow)?
There is no official API for anything Expose does (aside from
Dashboard in Tiger, if you want to make a pedantic technical
classification).
I did happen to find some talk about some CoreGraphicsServices.h
(with an included source code app that rotates a window) but it
seemed more like a hack than something supported by Apple. Don't get
me wrong, the app is cool but I fear using it because any iteration
of OS X could potentially break it.
I'm the author of said hack. :) Yes, it is a hack, and it uses
undocumented, unsupported API's to do what it does. A few Apple
engineer's and 3rd parties have voraciously condemned it, so use at
your own risk...
Well, I don't know that we've *condemned* it.. It's just that we won't
support it. ;-)

are most likely to come to..)
