I'm afraid portability is more than just that, Mr. Apple employee.
Instead of boasting that you follow the rules of this silly autorelease memory
management, you'd better start to do some intellectual activity such as
*designing* a memory management instead of just following rules like a slave.
The creative activity of *designing* rules is all about avoid major mistakes
like the autorelease pool memory management: object-oriented design is not
about placing the responsibility for such things as memory management on the
user, it is about *hiding* complexity in modular software units.
