Are you seriously suggesting that the language should not have notation for allocating zeroed primitive types and receiving the address of the allocation?

  var (
      p1 = new(int)
      p2 = new(*int)
      p3 = new(**int)
      p4 = new(complex64)
      p5 = new(complex128)
  )

I feel like you must be joking. Should we say

  var (
      c complex128
      p = &c
  )

every time?
