C++0x would have used a different name than 'delete' if it did not have
a major point of not introducing new keywords. This is deliberate to try
to prevent breaking legacy code, written even in C.
Even the keyword 'auto' is C's defunct 'auto' in C++0x (and I strongly
belive also in D); just because "automatic variable" and "automatically
typed" both start with "auto". :)
