Except when it doesn't.  I'm talking about overloaded 'new'

If Object`s were given 2 default new() implmentations, one that does the  
current allocation, and another that allows you to specify a buffer (also  
so that every Joe who wants this doesn't have to derive from the class to  
provide it). When RAII is involved, it can choose which version of new()  
to use (implementaion defined), using stack or not.
