I'm implementing drag and drop in an outline view.

I implement –outlineView:validateDrop:proposedItem:proposedChildIndex: to 
return one of several drag operation constants depending on combinations of 
source, destination and the source mask. For example the operation can be a 
move or a copy depending on certain things, but <option> modifier key always 
forces a copy. That works and the cursor badging correctly reflects the 
intentions of the drag.

In –outlineView:acceptDrop:item:childIndex: I can work out much the same set of 
conditions as above and mostly do the right thing, but since a move or a copy 
is equally likely, I need a way to determine what the last drag operation 
returned during validation actually was. There doesn't seem to be a way to do 
this by requesting it from any of the parameters passed to that method. How can 
I get that?

I could easily store the last value I returned in an ivar in my controller but 
it seems that there should be a way to just ask the drag system for it without 
this being necessary.
