My reasoning was: If one enables both arc and garbage collection
(which doesn't make much sense), then the compiler will automatically
insert retain/release calls (arc) which are noops (gc). Getting
finalize right in this mode is still important. (But I guess not many
will use arc with gc, so it doesn't matter much either way.)
