While this is true, I'm using - (NSMenuItem *)itemWithTitle:(NSString
*)aString to get the item if it exists and using that pointer from
then on out instead of replacing it.  So, let's say I want to modify
the File menu, if I have a pointer to it when the app closes, should I
be worried about freeing it if it was generated from a nib file and
not procedurally by me in the code?
