In the light of recent discussions and events, all of this is absolutely
obvious.

Of course doesn't, since we are not deleting any memory at destruction.

While we are at it, I also have something obvious to say ;)

since in the example the Data is 3 x 4 = 12 bytes forward wrt the address
returned by ::operator new, of course it can only by aligned 4, bummer!

If the header (the first 3 items) were longs on 64-bit machines you would
have the Data aligned 8. And if you want the Data aligned 16, just add a
long of padding between the bitmaps and the data.
