  BTW, the rubycocoa layer isn't quite working for me yet:

/Users/pierce/svnProjects/build/Release/Frictionless.app/Contents/ 
Resources/Action-mr.rb:847:in `isUrgent': undefined local variable or  
method `super_isUrgent' for #<Action_Action_:0x196a6a0> (NameError)
	from /Users/pierce/svnProjects/build/Release/Frictionless.app/ 
Contents/Resources/Action-mr.rb:1003:in `appLaunch'

   def isUrgent
     result = super_isUrgent
     result = 0 unless result != nil
     result
   end


  The superclass definition of isUrgent is on the ObjC side, so the  
full inheritance path is:

   Action (Ruby) < Machine_Action_rb (Ruby) < Machine_Action (ObjC)  :  
KSExtensibleManagedObject : NSManagedObject

  Though its the Machine_Action.m file that defines isUrgent:

- (NSNumber*)isUrgent {
	[self willAccessValueForKey:@"isUrgent"];
	NSNumber *result = [self primitiveValueForKey:@"isUrgent"];
	[self didAccessValueForKey:@"isUrgent"];
	return result;
}
