So, is the delete [] form a hint for the compiler "use vector delete, there
may be more objects", and the 'simple' delete (without []) is faster
(because it doesn't need to find out how many objects there are)?

This is the only reason I would accept the existance of these 2 forms. :)

You could also clarify me, why '==' has higher precedence than '&' (which I
find weird), but this would be totally off-topic..
