I like operator new. It goes blue, and the statement isn't riddled with
exclamation marks.

For Ruby, many editors and IDE's highlight standard built in functions 
as keywords. Like "new", "require", "attr_accessor" (and friends) to 
mention a few.

Imagine if new was a template (it would have to be a template).
Allocating a template would require nested template syntax every time,
which is pretty ugly.

   X x = new!(X!arg(args...)); // ewoo, paren spam...

Why not:

X x = new!X(args);
