The BeBook suggests it for BFilePanel, but isn´t this
bad practice?
(And in the BAlert case - compared to BFilePanel -
there´s not likely any missing out on future system
enhancements*, if you choose to make your own dialog,
so there´s more risk than gain in using some hashed
up BAlert.)
BFilePanel could be given an optional view for app
specifics. Sort of like this, but less ugly:
