For whatever reason it hasn't been exposed as a binding.  You may 
well be able to bind to it, and things may work correctly but it's 
not "officially supported" -- for the "official" bindings see:

    <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/
CocoaBindingsRef/BindingsText/NSArrayController.html>

In your case I suspect that you don't really want to "bind" anyway 
(i.e. you're not wanting to keep two variables synchronised -- not 
the sole purpose of bindings, certainly, but the typical goal)?  You 
just want to be informed if selectedObjects changes?  It might be 
more appropriate simply to observe the selectedObjects property of 
the array controller (I believe it's KVO compliant)...
