... read2.2
  In more details, it will first try to get the object by calling the method `getWindowDelegate` of the `#NSOwner`; if the `#NSOwner` does not respond to that method, it will try `windowDelegate`; if the `#NSOwner` does not to respond to it either, it will try `_getWindowDelegate`, and then `_windowDelegate`; if the `#NSOwner` still does not respond to those methods, it will try to access the `#NSOwner` instace variable `_windowDelegate`, if any, and failing that, the instance variable `windowDelegate`. If all else fails, it will call the method `handleQueryWithUnboundKey:` (which by default usually raises an exception).
