Better keep the above.

And I wonder if we would go on sprinkling these kinds of checks for all
classes we have :-\

I think this is a job for some static analisys tool, that or we figure
out a way to find out if an address is for a stack or heap and use that
instead, and in a bpf based tool, perhaps, one that would hook into all
*__delete() tools and check if the object it is using should or not be
in fact free()ed.

I could think about hooking __new*() calls, hashing the return value,
then at __delete() time check it, for instance.
