Probably better to use alloc:, but it doesn't really matter. There's no 
difference between x[mc]alloc and [mc]alloc other than that x[mc]alloc 
throws an exception if there is no memory instead of returning NULL.

I like to allocate on the stack for moderate sized things (e.g. < 1mb). 
Just because the syntax is so easy:

int size = 10;
double variable[size];

..and you don't have to worry about memory leaks. (The memory is 
returned when the function or method finishes.)
