This is misleading at best. Every class has a designated
initialiser. In the absence of other initialisation methods, it is
init. Whether or not NSObjectController or NSController implement
init is irrelevant to the issue.
The problem I think is, that initWithCoder is not really part of the
"designated initializer" convention.
That's not the "problem", that's simply the situation. initWithCoder:
clearly addresses a different situation than "standard" object
creation. The idea is not to *initialise* the object per se, it's to
restore it to the state in which it was at the time it was archived.
The object's designated initialiser will have been called when it was
created, but that time is now past, and it should not be reinitialised.
