I cant help but think the preferable way Objective C should would is
to send a release automatically to the receiver of a product of itself.
inputString = [inputString myMethod];
Its fairly clear in this situation that the original 'inputString' is
not wanted and needs to die, and would seem like a more sensible way
for the compiler to work as I struggle to think of a situation where
the old value serves any perpose, being that it is now orphaned and
useless.
Hence my confusion on the matter.

So, how do I keep a copy hanging around AND kill the mysterious new
copy then (which shares the same name as the old one presumably)?
2 pointer variables...
