Of course you are correct.  So, maybe the best once could do would be
to use "if (me.operator->())" in the unlikely event that the compiler is
so old it returns null rather than throws.

I think what got lost in the discussion is that operator new throws an
exception in C++ unless you use an overload declared with "throw()" (which
you would have to go out of your way to do).
