new/delete are operators, not functions.

That's true, but it won't be what the system calls when you want the 
operator. The operator types have specific signatures.
If you overload the global new with a function of the correct 
signature, you lose access to the original new--it has been redefined.
Calling new inside your implementation, even with ::, just results in 
infinite recursion.
