Yes, this is true, so the current "absence of ivars disables dealloc  
check" functionality should work with singletons as well, so no  
special cases needed. My original statement ("e.g. singletons don't  
need dealloc") was incorrect. But anyway, thanks for correction and  
quick implementation of these checks.
