... which is unexceptionable, but another alternative might be:
Player* aPlayer = [[Player alloc] init];
self.player = aPlayer;
[aPlayer release];
although (given a couple of contemporaneous threads on the subject of
autorelease and its subtleties, and given that I'm sitting smugly on the GC
side of the fence) I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the latter
suggestion sucks.
