-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 To preserve backwards compatibility, but also to help developers to
 migrate their code from RubyCocoa to MacRuby, we need a small layer on top
 of MacRuby that emulates the RubyCocoa syntax and semantics.

 The layer would ship with MacRuby, and would emit warnings on every
 RubyCocoa-specific expression, to explain the developer how to rewrite it
 for MacRuby and get rid of the warning.

 The warnings would be emitted by default, but we also need a way to
 disable them (even if -w is passed to the interpreter). Some developers
 might want to use the layer as is and not port their code immediately.
