No, it'll be a standard library interface.
I really think the built-in new should be discouraged - it has
a lot of disadvantages over using a library setup, and not many
advantages.
I suspect it will still be fine to use in situations where a
loose aliasing policy is required (so GC-exclusive
characteristics are depended on), such as scripts and certain
other application code. The same goes for using the concatenation
operators, over `Appender` et al. with a pluggable allocator.
For libraries though - definitely should be a red flag.
