'string' is a pointer. In the line of code above, you've discarded
its previous value (the address of the object returned by your
alloc/init pair), and assigned it the address of an autoreleased
string (returned from -stringByAppendingString:)
So just as a technical point, would the previous value, discarded in
the stringByAppendingString assignment, be a leak?
Yes.
