</div>Please, don't name them malloc() and free(), their names are highly<br>
associated with just asking for memory. If you ditch new and delete,<br>
just name them new() and delete() :). But maybe it isn't a good idea<br>
anyway because new/delete are highly associated with the GC (OTOH you<br>
can overload new/delete to use other allocators). Maybe create() and<br>
destroy()?<br>
<br>
They could accept an optional function pointer/delegate with the same<br>
signature as malloc/free to do the actual allocation/freeing and default<br>
to C's malloc/free.<br>
