No. What we need is a non-throwing version of malloc that returns
NULL. (throwing version can wrap this). If you want to throw an
exception, then throw it there (or use enforce).
With some sugar:
auto a = nothrow new Foo; // Returns null on OOM
Then, ordinary new can be disallowed in nothrow code.
That doesn't work, new conflates memory allocation with construction.
What if the constructor throws?
