new is special b/c it is has `new-initializer` after the `type-id` so that can 
be an initialization: https://eel.is/c++draft/expr.new#nt:new-expression in 
`sizeof` it is a definition which is not allowed and so it should be rejected.

if you do:

  struct B{ int x; };
  
  void f() {
     struct B{};
  }

That is a definition in `f`: https://godbolt.org/z/38eM6z17K
