Thank you!

It was only a brief mention and the piece was getting over-long
anyway. I feel that the term Cocoa is not well-enough known, nor would
something like "Yellow Box" or something be either. I had just talked
about how macOS bundles apps into special folders, how it had
inherited this from its ancestor NeXTstep, so I thought it was fair to
continue that line by saying that there's a FOSS re-implementation of
that stuff.

Is the .app folder bundle format part of Cocoa, the API, anyway?
