Whatever happened to:

    _vec_new()     Described in Dewhurst/Stark, pp. 157ff, they're supposed
    _vec_delete()  to be called to allocate/deallocate arrays of objects
                   with constructors/destructors.  They don't seem to be
                   part of the AT&T 2.0 distribution.

    _new_handler   Described in Dewhurst/Stark, pp. 154ff, and in Lippman,
                   pp. 170ff, it's supposed to be a pointer to a function
                   that new calls if it can't allocate enough memory.  It
                   doesn't seem to be part of the AT&T 2.0 distribution.

I know these aren't part of the language per se, but I would like to know
whether they are still supposed to be part of the AT&T distribution.  If
they are, I'd appreciate pointers to the .h files they're declared in.
