They can't take 2 lines instead of 1 to document the behavior of a
class method?
A lot of people have already mentioned that the memory management
semantics for these methods are the same everywhere and are
described in the conceptual documentation. I'd like to answer the
obvious follow up question: even if it is described in the concept
docs, how would it hurt to repeat it in the NSArray class method
references? It is just one more line...
The reason is that the location of the information says something
very important about its specificity or generality.

Silly me, I misread this post. Greg was answering why the line
*shouldn't* be added, not arguing that it *should*.
Anyway, I still think it wouldn't be so bad. Sometimes it's okay to
denormalize data a little. I would only object if it were done
inconsistently.
