------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Keyed archiving was added to GNUstep to allow people to make/use MacOS-X 
compatible NIBs etc.
Since DO is incompatible between the two systems anyway, support for keyed 
archiving over DO seems of unimportant for most people, especially as it's easy 
to work around by implementing the normal (non-keyed) coding methods, or using 
byref rather than bycopy.
Making Keyed archiving work for objects sent bycopy over DO would seem to 
require a new NSPortCoder implementation.  I'll happily accept contribution of 
such a thing for inclusion in the base library (as long as it continues to 
support the existing encoding), but I have a looong list of other things to 
work on myself.

Summary:  Unable to bycopy send objects that are key-archived

Original Submission:  It is not possible to bycopy send objects that implement 
keyed archiver only. I am getting this exception:

Uncaught exception NSGenericException, reason: subclass NSPortCoder(instance) 
should override encodeObject:forKey:
