I believe the proposal is this:

    1) Add AllocBase (looking for better name) as a base class for every class
we new/delete or one of its base classes.
    2) For objects we new/delete that are not classes that can be changed to
derive from AllocBase, use newObject/deleteObject and newArray/deleteArray.

One trick is coming up with a good technique for making sure we do this and
catch mistakes either at compile time or at least at runtime if we do it wrong.
It's going to be hard to review patches knowing that new/delete is sometimes
right and sometimes wrong, depending on the type of object it's being called
on.
