/*
 * This file replaces NSAutoreleasePool with OFAutoreleasePool when it is
 * linked. This is done so there is no conflict because OFBlocks are used
 * (blocks are OFBlocks as soon as ObjFW is linked). An application expecting
 * an NSBlock, but getting an OFBlock because ObjFW is linked, would fail to
 * autorelease the block otherwise, as the block would be in an
 * OFAutoreleasePool. By replacing NSAutoreleasePool with OFAutoreleasePool,
 * the application will still properly free the autoreleased block.
