One caveat: If you're writing code that needs to function with garbage collection on, CFRelease and -release are not equivalent. See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/GarbageCollection/Articles/gcCoreFoundation.html for details, but the form thats safe for both gc and non-gc is [NSMakeCollectable(someCFThing) autorelease].
