Binding the table columns individually *is* the correct way. Things will
work much better if you just do it that way.

You can bind the table view's contents, but if you do then you must also
bind selectionIndexes and sortDescriptors, and it's all just a big pain in
the butt. You are usually better off doing it the correct way, where
everything is taken care of for you. m.
