as long as 1) all variables allocated with new are freed once and only
once with delete; 2) all varables allocated with new [] are freed once
and only once with delete []; 3) you don't shoot yourself in the foot
with copy-ctors or assignment operators that do not handle correctly
pointers allocated with new or new []; 4) there is nothing corrupting
the arena like you writing in the wrong address (array index out of
range etc.) --- the use of new should be safe and do not cause any
segmentation fault.
