When it comes to this sort of thing, pedantic is good, as far as I'm
concerned...

Right - That's what I meant, even if I didn't say it the same way - x is
going to be holding a "whatever-it-was-that-preceded-the-alloc", not a
"whatever-it-was-that-preceded-the-*x". Which implies that the init
that'll be run is the one belonging to whatever that was, since x is one
of those, and not a whatever-preceded-the-*x.

In fact, I think I've likely been seeing trial code blow up in my face
for exactly that reason.
