I hadn't considered the effect that changing the method would have on 
shipping apps - I was simply concerned that the function of the method 
doesn't match it's implied function IMHO.

I like this way of doing things. I don't use -new anywhere else in my 
code but using it for NSAutoreleasePool in a GC app would highlight 
that the pool is a *special* case. This is the pattern I'll be using, 
thanks for that!
