That said, some MacOS (not MacOSX) applications have been written like
this, re-implementing widgets looking exactly like those of the Mac
Toolbox, to be nice to Mac users. (IIRC, because it was written in
some language where it was easier to do that than to add a FFI to the
Toolbox).  Of course, it only lasted until Apple Fa****on Director
changed the look-of-the-day of their widgets.
