Removing operator= and free() could be done by using C++11's "= delete"
instead. I think it would be more elegant. Unless we want to use it in
the private methods of course.
If I get your reasoning right, you just want to cause compiler to point
out the places where free() and operator= are used and then correct it
by hand. I think it's a good idea, but perhaps it would be easier if we
took care of the warnings we get now, so we would notice if any new
turned up after the change (aside from genuine errors). Just a thought.
