To all who replied, thank you. This is awesome. Thanks for outlining the difference between the two. Now I know and can ignore it. But if I didn't, I'd always be wondering. This certainly puts my mind at ease. Well, at least with regards to [NSArray new]. Other issues shall remain uneased

I sent this out this morning but it got eaten, so this is a resend. Sorry if it gets to some of you twice. Yes, I know about literals, but I have a different question here. Is this safe? I have seen this in some code in our codebase: array = [NSArray new]; I'm familiar with using the
