Yes, of course, that's why I put quotes around "hack". It was meant as
"not-really-a-hack". As for ordinary new, it does return you a pointer to a
fully initialized object, doesn't it?

Anyway, describing anything as hack, quotes or not, is quite subjective, so
I'm not going to defend my point of view any further.
