in reply to Getting rid of "new"

Maybe I'm still stuck in C++ mode, but I like 'new' - it lets me know what's happening, kind of sticks out a bit. True, it can be avoided - but is that a Good Thing? Sometimes I like a bit of redundancy, if it makes clear what's going on. Typing a few extra characters is a small price to pay for clarity, IMNSHO.
