[boost] Re: Allocators (Was: smart pointer delete parameterization)

23.1  Container requirements              [lib.container.requirements]
  ...
8 Copy constructors for all container types defined in this clause  copy
  an  allocator  argument  from  their respective first parameters.  All
  other constructors  for  these  container  types  take  an  Allocator&
  argument (_lib.allocator.requirements_), an allocator whose value type
  is the same as the container's value type.  A copy of this argument is
  used for any memory allocation performed, by these constructors and by
  all member functions, during the lifetime of  each  container  object.
  In  all container types defined in this clause, the member get_alloca-
  tor() returns a copy of the Allocator object  used  to  construct  the
  container.

They certainly can use new, but they morally should use the allocator.
