// note "self" refers to the "Point" _class_ object!
return AUTORELEASE(point);

... but NSObject.m says...
+ (id) new

NSObject.m is right. +new is supposed to be exactly the same as +alloc
followed by -init ... probably a typo in the Base programming manual :-)
I've fixed the programming manual ... worse than just a typo ... wrong on
memory management in a few places, with the appearance that the author was
wrong/confused in understanding what +new methods do.
I don't know how we missed it during proofreading. It could probably do
with other people checking it too, as it's obviuously easy to miss these
things.
