CLAlert
/*
* CLAlert is a drop-in replacement for NSAlert
*
* A CLAlert is exactly the same as a NSAlert, except for the alert style behavior
*
* - An alert with the informational style (NSInformationalAlertStyle) will always display a "Note icon" (kAlertNoteIcon)
* - An alert with the warning style (NSWarningAlertStyle) will always display a "Caution icon" (kAlertCautionIcon)
* - An alert with the critical style (NSCriticalAlertStyle) will always display a "Stop icon" (kAlertStopIcon)
*
* Tested on Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.1 and 10.11.5
