I keep forgetting about it. Fixed.

I have no preferences. For consistency, I've renamed mine
to xresizevec() and moved the type argument in front of the
others.
This is what I'm going to commit:

2004-06-26 Bernardo Innocenti <bernie@develer.com>
* include/libiberty.h (xnew, xcnew, xnewvec, xcnewvec, xobnew): Move
here from libcpp/internal.h.
(xresize, xresizevec, xdelete, xdeletevec): New macros.
