Discussion
This function helps you to create bindings between user interface elements and controller objects. The Application Kit predefines several special marker objects used as values for indicating selection state; currently these are NSMultipleValuesMarker, NSNoSelectionMarker, and NSNotApplicableMarker. These markers are typed as id and only exist for the purpose of indicating a state; they are never archived and cannot be used as object values in controls. You use this function to test whether a given object value is a marker, in which case it is not directly assignable to the object that is bound. This check is important, especially since additional markers may be added in the future.
See the NSKeyValueBinding.h header file for further details.
