NSCollectionViewTransitionLayout API is incomplete on MacOS

MacOS 10.11 introduced NSCollectionViewTransitionLayout, and the NSCollectionViewDelegate method collectionView(_:transitionLayoutForOldLayout:newLayout:), but these are documented as follows:

“In macOS 10.11, collection views do not provide built-in support for driving layout transitions.” and for the delegate method “In OS X 10.11, this method is never called by the collection view.”

It looks like these never actually got implemented, and current MacOS still seems to be missing the equivalent of UICollectionView’s startInteractiveTransition(to:completion:) method.

Please can we have the rest of the layout transition API on MacOS, so that we can easily perform gesture driven transitions.
