In general you should never need to send dealloc directly yourself

retain / release / autorelease to do that for you.
A little bit stronger statement is in order here.
You should never, not ever, invoke -dealloc in your code anywhere but
in the implementation of your own object's dealloc message and, in
that case, only to invoke [super dealloc].
If you ever write code like [someRandomObject dealloc], it is wrong.

(No, really, I can't think of a single spot where invoking -dealloc
directly is the right answer. I may have missed something, but I
don't believe so.)
