Re: making NSTableView headers editable.

[rburns]

Thanks for the reply. I don't have any means to find out MacOSX's behavior. 
And I'm not sure I can justify the necessity of editing table headers, but 
I'll tell you my situation. 

I have two lists of words put into an NSTableView with two columns.  And I'd 
like an easy way for the user to give each list a title.  I suppose you 
could use a dialog to get the users inpout, and then set the text in the 
header view, but that seems a bit inconvenient. 

alsom, NSTableHeaderCell  inherits from NSTextFieldCell, which does handle 
editing (if I understand everything correctly). So it would make sense for 
the NSTableHeaderCell to handle editing as well.
