You say accessing type in operator new is illegal by the standard, but the
compiler doesn't give an error though doing so is bloody obvious and I have the
strick checking turned on- but that is ok, and I am somehow causing trouble by
reporting this.

You say that I got the correct answer when I inherited a method and used it in
a child and it gave me the result a parent would have but a child wouldn't.  

You say that I did something wrong and so I deserve the results - then why do
we have type checking?  Now you parade me around as though I'm causing trouble
for reporting this and acting like I need lessons in C++.  That will teach me
to make a report.

I don't know Jon, I just don't get it.
