Details:

I've noticed that objects returned by NSKeyedArchiver using
decodeObjectForKey: are implicitly retained by the decoder. I thought that
objects returned by decodeObjectForKey: should be autoreleased. Is this
correct behaviour? 

Looking at NSKeyedArchiver source the object is retained when
it is added to the _objMap array in method _decodeObject of NSKeyedArchivers
Private category (Theres a comment "Retained in array). However on dealloc
the array is cleared using GSIArrayClear which as far as I can see clears the
memory but doesnt release the objects in the array.

Maybe GSIArrayEmpty is what should be used here?
