+<p>If your class only uses an instance variable for part of its lifetime, it may
+maintain an invariant guaranteeing that the instance variable is always released
+before -dealloc. In this case, you can silence a warning about a missing release
+by either adding <tt>assert(_ivar == nil)</tt> or an explicit release
+<tt>[_ivar release]</tt> (which will be a no-op when the variable is nil) in
+-dealloc. </p>
