/// Helper for specifying the retain semantics for a given selector family.
///
/// Note that we can't actually check if a method is in a method family; only
/// whether the _selector_ is in a _selector_ family.
///
/// The slight difference here is:
/// - The method may be annotated with the `objc_method_family` attribute,
///   which would cause it to be in a different family. That this is not the
///   case is part of the `unsafe` contract of `msg_send_id!`.
/// - The method may not obey the added restrictions of the method family.
///   The added restrictions are:
///   - `new`, `alloc`, `copy` and `mutableCopy`: The method must return a
///     retainable object pointer type - we ensure this by making
///     `message_send_id` return `Retained`.
///   - `init`: The method must be an instance method and must return an
///     Objective-C pointer type - We ensure this by taking `Allocated<T>`,
///     which means it can't be a class method!
///
