Yes, to some degree. In C++, you can overload operator new on a class 
which will retun whatever you want it to.
In those instances, calling new to create an object does not have to 
give you memory from the free store, but rather, whatever you program 
operator new to return.
BTW, you also have to overload operator delete for those classes if you 
overload operator new.
Also. you only have to overload new and delete on for classes you want to.

Is this any help to you?
