Actually, it is unique. Apple has several patents on it. Apple's Ali Ozer
and Bertrand Serlet are credited as inventors, along with others.
I read all of the patents a long time ago, and they helped me to understand
how autorelease works. But you need a law degree or two to learn how to
program by reading patents, so I don't recommend it to everyone.... Oh, what
the heck, go to www.uspto.gov/patft/ and search on patents nos. 6,304,884,
6,026,415 and 5,687,370.
