Or garbage collection ... which has been around for ages!

People don't use these features because they are all non-standard, in that they 
aren't on most systems.

The vast majority of systems come with objc (not objc2) and no garbage 
collection ... so it makes sense to write most code for that environment unless 
you are specifically targettting another (or are intendng to supply the 
environment  as a whole rather than just your app).
