[IB] Cells vs Controls in the Library

Stupid question:

Why is there both cell and control instances of the "same" objects in the Library window of Interface Builder?


For instance, you have a Check Box cell and a Check Box control.

Wouldn't it be better to just have a Check Box object and have IB figuring out which class will be really used depending on the target of the drop (*)?

This would reduce the number of objects in the Library and avoid the usual confusion between a cell and a control (the icon is not always helpful).



* AFAIK, the only real issue would be with the .xib/.nib window being the target of the drop but droppin a cell to this window seems a curious idea.
