I just did in the PS :o). New is not uniform: you can't use it easily to 
allocate a pointer to a dynamic array, or even a fixed-size array. Why? 
Because new is syntactically ill-conceived. It also allocates two 
keywords for no good reason.

new should disappear and delete should be an unsafe function.
