new is a really bad construct. I'm very unhappy that D inherited it.
Care to elaborate?
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.
Have I missed a discussion on what to have instead of new?
