Summary:
As in Xcode 5.0 the auto generated code created for the NSManagedObject subclasses from a CoreData model use retain instead of strong even if ARC is enabled in the project.
For consistency throughout the project it would be nice if Xcode can generate the code with the ARC memory qualifier instead using always a single file template.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new project with CoreData and ARC enabled
2. Create a new entity in the model
3. Add a bunch of attribute to the new entity
4. With the CoreData file selected go to Editor->Create NSManagedObject Subclass...
5. Select the CoreData database
6. Select the entity created
7. Save the files
8. Open the .h file of the subclass that has been generated

Expected Results:
The memory qualifier of the property would be strong if the project has ARC enabled or retain if ARC is disabled.

Actual Results:
In both cases the generated file properties use retain.

It's stupid I know, but this is really annoying me.
