   'new int[n]' "yields a pointer to the initial element (if any) of the   
   array" (5.3.4/5), not a pointer to the entire array, so '*new int[n]' just   
   designates an int object, and sizeof(*new int[n]) is always sizeof(int).   
   There's no way to apply sizeof to a dynamically allocated array object.   
      
   It is interesting that 5.3.4/5 writes "(if any)", as if it took zero-length   
   arrays into account, and a footnote in 5.3.5 even says "Zero-length arrays   
   do not have a first element," though another footnote in 8.5.1 says "C++   
   does not have zero length arrays." Is the standard contracting itself?
