both class allocators and the placement new syntax are
deprecated, but if that's the case I would expect a deprecation
message when I try to use that new(address) Type syntax whether
there's a class allocator present or not. Any insight into
this? Thanks.
Class allocators were deprecated in 2.080 and became an error in
2.087:

I assume the placement new syntax was supposed to have been
deprecated as well. It's possible it was overlooked, or that it
wasn't deprecated because it has an obscure use-case that I'm
unaware of. These days we should be using std.conv.emplace:
