Yup. My reply was in regards to the HIG. As I quoted, Eric said "It
seems strange that the HIG would say this is ok, but then have the NSBox
API not support it". The reason for that, I suspect, is that the other
major GUI API, Carbon, does/did support this "in one step", as you say.

the .h around HIThemeDrawGroupBox().
