FWIW, this seems to stem from the fact that you don't get any sort of
implicit constructor for structs, i.e. you can't embed NSPoint(x, y)

even begin to imagine what the creators of C were thinking when they
overlooked this.**
So you can't write p = NSMakeLine( NSPoint(50,50), NSPoint(100,100) );
No, you can't, because this is not Java and that's not how we construct
things in C or even Objective-C. You can however write:
NSRect r = NSMakeRect( NSMakePoint(50,50), NSMakePoint(100,100));
or
NSRect r = (NSRect) { { 50.0, 50.0}, {100.0, 100.0} };
Which seems to do what was required in the first place.
