Let's say I have a class called SomeClass with a string property name:

@interface SomeClass : NSObject{
    NSString* name;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString* name;

@end

I understand that name may be assigned a NSMutableString in which case this
will may to errant behavior.

(1) For strings in general, is it *always* a good idea to use the "copy"
attribute instead of "retain"?
(2) Is a "copied" attribute in any way less efficient than such a
"retain-ed" attribute?
