"ARC is supported in Xcode 4.2 for Mac OS X v10.6 and v10.7 (64-bit applications) and for iOS 4 and iOS 5. Weak references are not supported in Mac OS X v10.6 and iOS 4." (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/ObjectiveC/RN-TransitioningToARC/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011226)

So stating that you need 4.3 is not true. Anway, the macro idea is great, thanks!

I've also just realised that there should be a check for Mac OS version as well. Will have a look at some point :)
