Well, as the documentation mentions, it saves a discard and re-alloc
in those cases that the allocation requirements of the object are not
known until initialisation parameters are passed.

But that's not a reason to use "+new". That's a reason to use
"+new...". Though personally, I don't think I've ever used either.
