Actually, I think this is a delegate method, so you have to subclass
NSFormatter (or NSNumberFormatter or NSDateFormatter) and implement this
method yourself. But it's very easy to do. Especially if you subclass one of
the built-in subclasses, so that you only have to implement this one method.

But it still won't catch naked modifier keys, will it?
