Yes, sure. What I was saying was that in C++ it is not really needed as 
you can achieve the same effect using dynamic allocation (new/delete). 
If in the future anyone is able to provide a use case that *really* 
requires this kind of thing, it's trivial to add it. (On the other hand 
it's never trivial to remove a function from API as it makes backward 
compatibility go south.)
