By modifying it, presumably. :-)  The immediate request is for the
Carbon API I believe, which is C-based, but yeah, if we make it
available for Carbon, the Cocoa folks will probably get envious and
want it for their framework too.  Thanks for the observation, I'll
take a look at the ObjC parser and see what it would take.
