It might have something to do with the fact that, according to the
documentation, NSTextStorage is a "semiconcrete subclass of
NSMutableAttributedString."  What confuses me about this is that the
words "concrete" and "abstract" have very well-defined meanings...
"semiconcrete" is bizarre and meaningless.  Doesn't that just mean
it's abstract?
