Well, 'new' is a reserved word in C++, so if you use Cocoa's 'new'
method you'll never be able to use Objective-C++ with that code.  It's
kind of like how using 'id' as a variable name in C++ is a bad idea.

Actually, that's not true. You can use C++ keywords as method names in Objective-C++; I've done it (specifically +class) without problems. Method names just aren't treated quite the same as other identifiers. The only thing is the syntax colorer highlights them as keywords.
