Sure, no problem for code I'm writing now.
Thing is, I never noticed this "tries to" before and always thought
this was a singleton. So I have shipped code that doesn't retain the
panel. It would be good to know if I'm just getting lucky *for now*
or whether that code is reliable.
The sample code in Apple's docs does NOT retain the save panel. The
example code for NSAlert similarly does not retain the alert - in fact
it explicitly autoreleases it which is what I'd expect a convenience
method to do if an individual instance were returned.

Since the example is presumed correct and in practice I've never run
into a problem with this, it appears to be safe... in which case some
clarification about what "tries to" means would still be good.
