That would seem a pretty reasonable assumption, but it doesn't seem to
be the case. At least, breakpoints on -[NSTextField infoForBinding:],
-[NSControl infoForBinding:],  -[NSObject infoForBinding:] don't seem
to trigger when the text field is edited; nor are messages logged from
a subclass of NSTextField overriding -infoForBinding:.

Any other ideas, anyone?
