A clever solution, but it means you have to always set up some other
object to do what NSTableView should do itself.  If your app has tens of
tableviews, it seems nicer to subclass and fix NSTableView, then just
use your subclass everywhere.  I guess the best solution always depends
on one's situation.

Thanks to all,
