Ok, so my point with all this is that the documentation should not say
that all class factory methods always return autoreleased objects
because that is an implementation detail that (a) is not required by
the memory management rules, (b) is something that the programmer
should not care about, and (c) is not even true in the case of some
methods, including [NSString string]
So I'll file a bug.

This is a bogus question. You're thinking incorrectly. There's a
reason the memory management rules don't explicitly call for things to
be autoreleased. Following good OO principles, you shouldn't care how
things are memory managed within the framework; just make sure you're
doing the right thing and following the rules, and everyone's a
winner.
