Re: Trouble assigning datasource and delegate to an instance of NSTableView

Yup, this declares ImportTool (a subclass of NSObject) with the lightweight generic parameters X, Y, and Z. Here are some examples and how they map to Swift, which

Re: Trouble assigning datasource and delegate to an instance of NSTableView
