Using the above templates does the following important things:

• Sets the pointer to NULL upon deletion. This prevents stale pointer variables.
• Makes the choice between ``array'' and ``normal'' memory deletion more obvious. It is too easy to forget the [] for an array. Having to type either ``ARRAY'' or ``POINTER'' makes you think about the decision a bit more.
