I just did in the PS :o). New is not uniform: you can't use it easily to allocate a pointer to a dynamic array, or even a fixed-size array. Why? Because new is syntactically ill-conceived. It also allocates two keywords for no good reason.
new should disappear and delete should be an unsafe function. Andrei
