I hereby suggest we get rid of new for class object creation. What do

I don't agree with this one.
There's extra cost involved, and the added keyword makes that clear.
That's actually one problem: a struct constructor could also execute
arbitrary amounts of code, so "new" is not as informative as it might be.
Also, somebody mentioned using 'new' to allocate structs on the heap;
I've never actually done that, but it sounds like using 'new' would be
the perfect way to do just that.
Yah, I guess I'll drop it.
