// Automatically initialize and and free an autoreleasepool. Never allocate
// an instance of this class using "new" - that will result in a compile-time
// error. Only use it as a stack object.
//
// Note: NSAutoreleasePool docs say that you should not normally need to
// declare an NSAutoreleasePool as a member of an object - but there's nothing
// that indicates it will be a problem, as long as the stack lifetime of the
// pool exactly matches the stack lifetime of the object.
