Mechanically easy, certainly, but it has implications. NSApp is not necessarily an instance of NSApplication; it can be an instance of a subclass specified in Info.plist. Changing its type would break an unknowable amount of existing, correct code. I assume radar 2745084 is marked Works Correctly for this reason.
