It was pointed out to me that there is a supplied header file, new.h,
that makes this unnecessary.  If you use new.h, you will get the same
function, but it won't be called inline.  This has the disadvantage
that there is some performance penalty, but has the advantage that
you can replace the implementation (say to keep a log of allocations)
without re-compiling everything, and you can put a breakpoint on it.
