Right, C++ is a different beast.  I was assuming we were talking about C.

Because just using free() on something that should be released with some
specific function assumes that that function is just a wrapper around free().
That might not be the case or might change over time.  It also ignores the fact
that there can be multiple heap managements like on windows, when multiple
compiler versions (and therefore their RTL) are used.
