I guess it really depends on what your program is doing. In my system, everything I do is linked to how I use my memory and its layout (so much that I don’t use malloc/free, just my own arena allocator), so I wouldn’t be able to avoid thinking about things like this in C++ either.

I can see how if you have allocation-heavy code that making them more convenient to use correctly would be nice, but for me “allocation-heavy” is an anti pattern anyway.
