I should've read this before responding to the previous message. ;)

Yes, Cocoa supports the aggregate keys, though it's approach is  
apparently not extensible like the EOF design.  Would it make sense to  
treat this as a GNUstep extension and implement it in the -base  
Additions?  That way you would still override the Cocoa implementation  
on Mac OS and maintain the ability to extend the set of aggregate keys.
