I've been thinking about how to explain to a beginner that some classes have
built-in outlets, and it strikes me that the documentation falls down here.
For example, you know and I know that a UIViewController has a view outlet;
it is visible in the Connections inspector in IB when you select an object
that's a UIViewController (or a subclass thereof). But the UIViewController
class documentation never mentions this fact; and neither does the header,
if it comes to that. Doesn't this strike you as kind of odd? m.
