I don't think this rule should be adopted. It's blatantly false for a
huge number of methods. While I can see that it would be useful in some
odd cases, the huge number of exceptions would make it difficult to rely
on.
Agreed ... this is not a rule that holds on MacOS-X, and it's not even implied
in any of the documentation I know of.
It's definitely not required for 'correct' memory management.
