--/* Set (and get) the view for a menu item.  By default, a menu item has a nil view.
--A menu item with a view does not draw its title, state, font, or other standard drawing attributes, and assigns drawing responsibility entirely to the view.  Keyboard equivalents and type-select continue to use the key equivalent and title as normal.
--A menu item with a view sizes itself according to the view's frame, and the width of the other menu items.  The menu item will always be at least as wide as its view, but it may be wider.  If you want your view to auto-expand to fill the menu item, then make sure that its autoresizing mask has NSViewWidthSizable set; in that case, the view's width at the time setView: is called will be treated as the minimum width for the view.  A menu will resize itself as its containing views change frame size.  Changes to the view's frame during tracking are reflected immediately in the menu.
--A view in a menu item will receive mouse and keyboard events normally.  During non-sticky menu tracking (manipulating menus with the mouse button held down), a view in a menu item will receive mouseDragged: events.
--Animation is possible via the usual mechanism (set a timer to call setNeedsDisplay: or display), but because menu tracking occurs in the NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode, you must add the timer to the run loop in that mode.
--When the menu is opened, the view is added to a window; when the menu is closed the view is removed from the window.  Override viewDidMoveToWindow in your view for a convenient place to start/stop animations, reset tracking rects, etc., but do not attempt to move or otherwise modify the window.
--When a menu item is copied via NSCopying, any attached view is copied via archiving/unarchiving.  Menu item views are not supported in the Dock menu. */
