So am I, I think the "Auto" in AutoBaseClass is a good enough 
indication that there's magic happening.

What I do wonder, though, is whether this should be in AppKit. 
Shouldn't we try to keep AppKit clean, so the Apple documentation 
completely describes it, and put our own PyObjC-specific stuff 
elsewhere? There isn't a good place right now, I think, but now might 
be a good time to add one ("PyObjC" comes to mind as a name). Or does 
the objc package fit this bill?
