[Mono-osx] MonoMac parser.cs

[Duane Wandless]

I stand corrected on this scenario... all that code I have to maintain the
NSMutableArray does not actually do what I thought it did.  It appears the
NSArrayController is always required to rebind to the modified array.
(There are other ways to prevent the rebind but the important note is my
assumption was incorrect.)  And my obj-c UI guy was doing just that when the
array was modified.  Learned something new again thanks to Mono!
