Not in general.  Things like:

  char* c = new char [sizeof(S)] ;
  new (c) S;

are specifically endorsed.

The usage I gave was actually one of the earlier motivations for
placement new, IIRC.  The idea being that you sometimes wanted to
control *when* an object was constructed, but specifically *not* have
to pay for an extra indirection.
