Agree.  But the case where the difference matter would not occur in my
book because I have the rule to retain all objects I need:

     NSString* title=[[stuff title]retain];
     [stuff setTitle:newTitle];
     NSLog(@"old title was %@\n",title);
     [title release];

In my  little mind, it's simplier  to have simple rules  to be applied
always without exceptions.
