[racket-dev] collects/mred/private/wx/cocoa/sound.rkt, comment about retain

[Geoffrey S. Knauth]

I was looking at collects/mred/private/wx/cocoa/sound.rkt, and a comment didn't 
make sense to me, because it looks as though retain is being used.

(tellv s retain) ; don't use `retain', because we dont' want auto-release

I'm guessing someone meant:

(tellv s retain) ; use `retain', because we don't want auto-release

It should be

  use the `retain' method instead of the `retain' function, because we
  don't want a finalization-triggered release

I'll push that clarification.
