Writing a method like "sharedApplication"

Hi,

I have a simple question that haven't been able to find a solution for. What I would like to do is create a method that works like NSApplication's "sharedApplication" message, or NSUserDefault's "sharedUserDefaults" message. The first time you call it it should create an instance of itself and keep a reference to it somehow. After that, anytime the method is called it should simply return the the instance it created earlier. This part is easy, I can just use a static variable. The part I'm not sure on however, is how to release it when the app exits. I've considered C's "atexit" function, but I thought there may be an all-Cocoa way of doing this. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Todd Yandell
