The NSString reference suggests that it will return an
object. Since it's an instance method and not a class
method, this suggests that an alloced string must be
the receiver.
"Returns an NSString object initialized by copying
the characters from another given string.
- (id)initWithString:(NSString *)aString
"
OTOH, stringWithString is a class method, suggesting
that it must be sent to NSString and it will take
care of the alloc:
"Returns a string created by copying the characters
from another given string.
+ (id)stringWithString:(NSString *)aString
"
