It would be helpful if you could be more specific.


* as I wrote in the bug report, why is 'clear' not deprecated even though spec
says it should be by december 2012? (and it's also in several phobos modules)

* according to http://dlang.org/memory.html, 'If there is a delete(), there
should be a corresponding new()'
In my example, there is no new() function, so why does it even compile?

* according to Jonathan Davis (see email "allocate array with new"): "No.
_Never_ use delete. It's going to be deprecated". 

* in http://dlang.org/deprecate.html#delete, it says delete will be deprecated
at a later time.

* a number of phobos modules use delete.

So all in all the spec is not very clear to me, and maybe to others as well.
