Its just making it clear that these are unretained. Make a #define to make it 
nice and clean like. But they are saying to make an objective C class mostly 
for people who do manual retain/releases in a struct so that its automatic.

Finally, NSDictionary doesn't support that - but CFDictionary does. We use that 
all the time. Its nice and neat. Just 
insertedSections  = CFDictionaryCreateMutable(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0, 0, 
&kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
CFDictionarySetValue(insertedSections, (void*)sectionIndex, section);
etc...
