I think mutable subclasses should override the convenience methods

[NSMutableArray array] and [NSMutableString string] both return
mutable versions, but [NSMutableParagraphStyle
defaultParagraphStyle] does not. Is this considered a bug in
NSMutableParagraphStyle?
We had a big discussion about this a while ago. A number of people
preferred the class methods that returned an un-typedefed object,
while some purists came out against them. So it really depends on who
you ask...
