I don't recommend the use of RETAIN/RELEASE/AUTORELEASE any more ... they were
primarily for optimisation when you might be using garbage collection (back
when machines were slower).
But I do still recommend ASSIGN, ASSIGNCOPY, and to a lesser extent, DESTROY.
As these make it easier to reliably/safely manage reference counting.
