The documentation for this autoreleased method:

target:(id)target selector:(SEL)aSelector userInfo:(id)userInfo
repeats:(BOOL)repeats
states: "If repeats is NO, the timer will be invalidated after it
fires."
If I call this autoreleased method, and set repeats to YES, does
that imply I do not need to retain the object if I want to
invalidate it later? In other words, is this autoreleased method
autoreleased only when repeats is NO, otherwise it is not
autoreleased?
Just want to make sure I understand it correctly. Thanks in advance!
If you receive an autoreleased object, you must retain it if you want
to keep it. Doesn't matter what the object is.
