      To determine whether a method has an inferred related result type, the first word in the camel-case selector
      (e.g., “init” in “initWithObjects”) is considered, and the method will have a related result type if its return
      type is compatible with the type of its class and if:
        * the first word is "alloc" or "new", and the method is a class method, or
        * the first word is "autorelease", "init", "retain", or "self", and the method is an instance method.

      If a method with a related result type is overridden by a subclass method, the subclass method must also return
      a type that is compatible with the subclass type.
