If you allocated objects in your class that you need to deallocate
before going bye-bye, or you registered the class for notifications,
then yes, you must implement a -dealloc method unless your code is GC-
only. You only need to implement -finalize if you allocated memory
outside the garbage collector (for example, using malloc()) and need
to free it before the object goes away. Check the documentation for
more information.
