I am not sure how you would use this advantage.
Either you need raw memory, then 'new char[K]'
will do (and won't call any ctors) or you need
initialized objects, in which case you, well,
need them initialized. Of course, you can
allocate raw memory and manually initialize
them later -- but what would that buy you?
