Follow-up Comment #13, bug #59204 (project gnustep):
I think we all agree that the loop in the macros is more trouble than it's
worth, and we should change it.

Actually it's quite common practice to empty an autorelease pool every N times
round a loop, so that you don't have the computational overhead of emptying a
pool in each loop iteration, which can be very inefficient. The @autorelease{
...} construct in a loop does not permit that (the one area I can think of in
which ARC code is less efficient or more cumbersome than pre-arc code).
