Does NSPointerArray support zeroing weak references under ARC?

The test below seems to indicate that it does - though this is the sort of 
thing I often get wrong.

Note that a NULL survives -compact. 
Presumably the method is free to not compact in trivial cases - or is there 
another explanation? 

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
NSPointerArray *parray = [NSPointerArray weakObjectsPointerArray];
NSString *value1 = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"test1"];
[parray addPointer:(__bridge void *)(value1)];

@autoreleasepool {

 NSString *value2 = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"test2"];
 [parray addPointer:(__bridge void *)(value2)];

 for (id item in parray) NSLog(@"%@", item);

 NSLog(@"Draining pool...");
}

for (id item in parray) NSLog(@"%@", item);


NSLog(@"Compacting...");
[parray compact];
for (id item in parray) NSLog(@"%@", item);

return 0;
}

output:
