Regarding ARC: it's handled purely at compile time and works fine with iOS 4 (modulo weak references).

    ARC is supported in Xcode 4.2 for Mac OS X v10.6 and v10.7 (64-bit applications) and for iOS 4 and iOS 5. Weak references are not supported in Mac OS X v10.6 and iOS 4.

Thanks a lot. I'll take a look into that. Pity that you still need to nil the objects before they're garbage collected.
