The NSInputServiceProvider protocol embodies most of the functionality of NSInputServer.
There are two ways you might use this protocol:
You can subclass NSInputServer and create an instance of your subclass. Your subclass must override most or all of the NSInputServiceProvider protocol methods.
You can create an NSInputServer object and designate a delegate. The delegate must implement the NSInputServiceProvider protocol.
All messages in this protocol are sent by the client text view except insertText:client: and doCommandBySelector:client:, which are sent by "NSInputManager".
