	How do I insert an NSAttributedString with zero characters, but a defined ParagraphStyle attribute, into an NSText or NSTextView object? I've been using NSText's "insertText:" method, but this fails with an assertion error when tyring to insert a string with 0 length (even if it does have attributes). Basically, what I want to end up with, is an NSTextView with some predefined paragraph attributes that a user can start entering text into, without having to set any paragraph attributes manually thenselves.
