I don't think ARC relies on method naming. Pre-ARC those conventions were important and flagged by the analyzer, but ARC works differently.

BTW I am not sure that a general purpose could offer that close of an integration with the compiler as Xcode has with clang. And trust me, I certainly am trying (using TM for ObjcC coding myself). Unfortunately Xcode is missing some (for me) must have features that keep me using TM for now. But I sure do miss that tight integration Xcode has. Of course if AppCode would look and feel a little less Java'ish, now there is a tool that is truly amazing!
