+// since OS X 10.6.  But in that time it's never done anything that
+// would break when called outside of -[NSView drawRect:] (which we
+// sometimes do), or whose output can't be redirected to a
+// CGContextRef object (which we also sometimes do).  This is likely
+// to remain true for the indefinite future.  However we should
+// check _drawTitleBar in each new major version of OS X.  For more
+// information see bug 877767.
