Summary:

    If you use an element in Interface Builder in Xcode 4.4 that is not linked to the application, the resulting error at runtime is not insightful at all.

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a new view-based iOS project in Xcode 4.4, using Storyboard.
    2. Insert an MKMapView into the main view
    3. Build and run the application

Expected Results:

    An exception to be thrown detailing that the class "MKMapView" was not found in the runtime and needs to be linked.

Actual Results:

    The following nondescript exception is thrown:

    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The NIB data is invalid.'

Regression:

    Not tested.

Notes:

    A compile time warning would be awesome, but probably very hard to generate. A relevant runtime exception is definitely acceptable, for a one time developer error.
