Well, only for classes that implement NSCopying. And if it’s truly an immutable 
value class; for example you probably wouldn’t want an IBOutlet NSView property 
to copy the view. :-p

It’s also not a given that all immutable classes implement -copy as -retain. 
Foundation’s value classes (string, data, collections) do, but I don’t know 
about ones from other frameworks.
