HOWEVER, that might cause funky things to happen with the
autorelease pool. So the best idea is to do nothing and let the
autorelease pool take care of it.
Back to school ;-)
This does nothing at all. It increments the retain count, then
decrements it again. It doesn't cause anything "funky" with the
autorelease pool nor does it reclaim the memory occupied by the
string. It does nothing. Release != dealloc. However, the advice "you
don't need to do anything" is correct - the string will be autoreleased.
