Feature request: Automatic Reference Counting #2

Request for ARC with strong type as weak type does not support back to iOS 4.3. Current IRFoundation will break Xcode's "Convert to Objective-C ARC" feature.

I guess we can allow submodules to not ARC, while using ARC in the main application. That maintains backwards compatibility in all cases as IRFoundations still has some iOS 4.0 targets…

I would suggest create a "arcificatied" branch for experiment and maintain synced with development branch for big changes.
