Initialization with new[]

I think this is the case. gcc -pedantic says, on Alexey's revised
example:

a.cc:11: warning: ANSI C++ forbids declaration `main' with no type
a.cc: In function `int main()':
a.cc:12: warning: initialization in array new
a.cc:15: warning: initialization in array new

I question whether that extension is particularly useful, though.

Especially in the case of an integer array, there is a clean
standard-conforming solution: write a loop, assigning each element.
It is absolutely portable, and it is as efficient as anything the
compiler could come up with.
