If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that clang implicitly
marks the indirect NSError** parameter with __autoreleasing, so there's no
bug here. Is that correct? If so, should Wblock-capture-autoreleasing just
not fire on parameters that are already implicitly marked as
__autoreleasing?
