What about in C, as opposed to C++?

I agree that the obvious special cases are access through char*, arrays 
of characters, and placement new.  But, I'm afraid that there are lots 
of other allocation functions out there that are not spelled "operator 
new", and requiring decoration for them isn't something that (as far as 
I know) other compilers require.
