Roughly speaking E&S corresponds to compilers claiming "2.1" compatibility.

delete [20] p verses delete [] p is a "2.0" to "2.1" difference.

This is discussed on pg 65 E&S.

I wouldn't be surprised compilers coming out in the near future allow
the old form as an anachronism -- issuing a warning, but accepting
the construct.  Don't be surprised if "2.0" compatible compilers
don't accept the "[]" construct.
