if you use 'new'.
We hardly do. Why would we ?
You define a type, and use variables of that type.
Extremely seldom pointer to that type.

variables of that type is put in containers.
No pointers.

The only time we use pointers is when interfacing to c-routines,
which are encapsulated in procedures - and leak-free.

I guess what you don't know, you don't miss.
I have no real objections to todays exceptions,
so what do I miss ?
