[Cocoa-sharp] Object.Retain()

[C.J. Adams-Collier]

Hmm... If you have the time to produce a patch that you think should get
into the code, and would not die or have an aneurysm if it didn't make
it in, you should do it.  IMHO.

I'm certainly not a Cocoa expert, though.  My ObjC is really quite
awful.  If you're looking for verification exclusively from a Cocoa
expert, keep looking ;)

Cheers,

C.J.
