I'm wondering if it would make sense (or be possible) to override - retain and -release to increment/decrement your own variable in addition to using the inherited behavior. In the GC environment, the inherited retain does nothing but in either environment your enumerator can detect the retain by checking your variable.
It isn't that the inherited retain(release/retainCount/autorelease) do nothing, its that they are no-op'd. They are neutered at the the level of message dispatcher which means that under GC your class will *never* see these messages.
