So why do the InterViews developers continue to delete arrays with the
plain delete syntax? i.e.
a = new int[10];
delete a;

This clearly has undefined behavior in C++, yet InterViews continues
to rely upon it.

I've searched the entire iv-mail file and the FAQ, yet no one seems to
have mentioned this.

Some InterViews code is old enough to run through compilers that
didn't understand delete[] (or worse yet, generated bad code).
Please send references to any such usages in 3.1 to interviews-bugs, and
they will be fixed in the future.
