rdar://13903643 - "NSCell does not implement methods declared in NSTextAttachmentCell protocol" NSTextAttachmentCell's documentation claims that NSCell implements all but three of its methods. This isn't the case.

	#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
	#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>

	int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	@autoreleasepool {
	SEL selectors = malloc(10 sizeof(SEL));

	// The following selectors are taken from the NSTextAttachmentCell protocol reference.
	// That document states that NSCell responds to all of its declared methods with three exceptions (noted below).

	# Needs gem "guard-shell" (https://github.com/guard/guard-shell)
	# Uses process "growlnotify" (http://growl.info/extras.php)
	# Uses process "pdflatex" from standard TeXLive distribution
