Is strong identifier the default with @property statement?

Viewed 10235

I'm learning Objective-C and the Cocoa Framework (via Aaron Hillgass' book) and trying to figure out why the following line includes the "strong" identifier.

@property (strong) NSManagedObjectContext *managedObjectContext;

As I understand it, strong is the default so why do I need to explicitly declare it?
