In addition, with the placement of the comma, one possible misinterpretation of the sentence is that I will address these issues in a follow-up PR. There was a problem hiding this comment. That's cool. It was just a bit verbose before. There was a problem hiding this comment. Maybe we can split it into 2 lines, one for the case where it is in the global namespace (emphasis on must be non-static), and the other is for class members (emphasis on optional |

| ```cpp | ||

| // compile with: /c | ||
| static void* operator new(size_t); // C2323 since static | ||
| static void operator delete(void*); // C2323 since static | ||
|

||
| namespace NS | ||
