The chances of [Class alloc] returning NULL due to memory exhaustion
are EXTREMELY slim. Mac OS X doesn't handle memory space exhaustion
in applications very well and often just crashes the application
instead of returning an error.
And even if you can detect it, you can't do anything about it because
you are out of memory.
So this is not a case you need to be concerned with.

So is there a style of usage of [Class alloc] that will detect the
craziness when memory runs out and it returns nil? I'm just
realizing that putting "if ( self=[super init] )" into my init
methods won't solve that problem.
