-[NSAppleEventDescriptor initWithAEDescNoCopy] memory management question

Subject: -[NSAppleEventDescriptor initWithAEDescNoCopy] memory management question

The documentation says:

	initWithAEDescNoCopy:

	- (id)initWithAEDescNoCopy:(const AEDesc *)aeDesc

	Initializes and returns an NSAppleEventDescriptor that takes ownership
	of the Carbon AEDesc structure pointed to by aeDesc. Returns nil if an
	error occurs. The initialized object takes responsibility for calling
	the AEDisposeDesc function on the AEDesc at object deallocation time.
	This is the designated initializer for this class.

So it is clear that NSAppleEventDescriptor will call AEDisposeDesc on my behalf.

What about the storage for the AEDesc itself? Does it call free? Does it assume the storage will live longer than the object, and I am responsible?

Thanks,
Jim
