[Openmcl-devel] how to access non NS classes

[Gary Byers]

<http://ccl.clozure.com/ccl-documentation.html#Loading-Objc-Frameworks>

Some frameworks (Apple calls them "umbrella frameworks") contain
several related subframeworks; loading the parent is supposed to
initialize all of the children (and their dependencies) correctly, 
so I believe that you generally want to do:

(objc:load-framework "Quartz" :quartz)

On a 64-bit CCL, that'll define the IKImagePicker class (the name
translation rules will call it NS:I-K-IMAGE-PICKER ...) and other
classes that're declared in the interfaces and defined in the framework's
librar(y|ies).

It's a long story, but we're still distributing Tiger interfaces for
32-bit platforms, so doing the OBJC:LOAD-FRAMEWORK call above in a 32-bit
CCL  won't find declarations for things introduced in 10.5
