Can I use realloc() to handle pointers created by new-operator? Can this
cause any troubles? I'd like to use new-operator to minimize pointer
type casts and because it does arrays right without sizeof-calculations.
Why is there no resize-operator that would make the same thing as
realloc(), but would return the right pointer type? That way I could get
rid of some pointer type casts (void* -> MyType*).
