[section Construct, New, Delete, Casts]
You'll probably want to work with objects. There are lazy versions of
constructor calls, `new`, `delete` and the suite of C++ casts. Examples:
construct<std::string>(arg1, arg2) // constructs a std::string from arg1, arg2
new_<std::string>(arg1, arg2) // makes a new std::string from arg1, arg2
delete_(arg1) // deletes arg1 (assumed to be a pointer)
static_cast_<int*>(arg1) // static_cast's arg1 to an int*
[note Take note that, by convention, names that conflict with C++
reserved words are appended with a single trailing underscore `'_'`]
