All of the collection classes -retain and -release objects that are
added to them, so you can release them in your code and as long as you
are retaining or otherwise holding onto the collection itself, the
collection will keep a strong ref to the objects it holds.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSArray_Class/Reference/Reference.html
"Arrays maintain strong references to their contents—in a managed
memory environment, each object receives a retain message before its
id is added to the array and a release message when it is removed from
the array or when the array is deallocated. If you want a collection
with different object ownership semantics, consider using CFArray
Reference, NSPointerArray, or NSHashTable instead."

Say if you allocate a temp object and add it to an NSMutableArray
and then release it afterwords, does the NSMutableArray not make a
deep copy and will lose the the variable?
