The whole point of a UITableViewController is to have a controller that
autonomously instantiates a table view as its root view. Interface Builder
isn't making an arbitrary choice; the controller, not IB, creates the view.
If you want a UITableView to be a sibling of other views, instantiate a
UIViewController subclass, make its .view a plain UIView (or as the problem
demands), drop in the table view along with sibling views, and connect the
table to an outlet in the controller. You won't get a template with the
delegate and data source methods prefilled, but there's nothing magic about it.
Just put UITableViewController.h into the Assistant editor and paste the
declarations into your controller's implementation.
