The lack of a placement delete expression form, corresponding to
the placment new form, has been a topic for serious discussion in
this group.  The obvious problem with placement delete is that
any non-awkward form could be ambiguous, though examples that
would show such ambguity are probably infrequent.

In view of this, it might be reasonable if the standards committee
bit the bullet and declare that such ambiguous forms should be
treated as placement deletes. That should be anything of the form:

delete leftparenthesis expressionlist rightparenthesis expression

delete[] leftparenthesis expressionlist rightparenthesis expression

Admitedly, this would probably break some existing code, but the
broken expressions can be fixed by adding parentheses.
