Apologies. I was assuming a matching:
- (NSObject *)foo{
return foo;
}
But, if you always write:
- (NSObject *)foo{
return [[foo copy] autorelease];
}
then my "swap" criticism doesn't apply. However, I often want access to
an object's part, not a transient copy of the part. (When I pull a
puppet's string, connected to its finger, I expect the finger to move,
not a copy of the finger, which is then immediately thrown away.)
