On page 223 of the c++ answer book there's a "less obvious" solution
to problem 12 page 167 of the c++ programming language.  This solution
leaves a little bit to be desired since it suggests the following
solution which ignores constructors and destructors altogether:

#include <stream.h>

#define main new_funct

main()
{
  cout << "Hello world\n";
}

#undef main 

main()
{
  cout << "Initialize\n";
  new_funct();
  cout << "Clean up\n";
}
