: GCC support library usually uses "namespace" to add various prefixes
: to its built-in functions/variables in order to avoid conflicts against
: user code. In ELF binary file, built-in functions/variables' names are
: much longer than "__new__". See files in
: /usr/src/contrib/libstdc++/libsupc++/.

__new__ is bogus.  _new if you must.
