The code that you're removing is not an accidental bug, but an intentional 
(although perhaps overzealous) feature that tries to warn about the fact that 
placement new for an array type may allocate an unspecified amount of overhead 
(extra memory) for internal needs.

According to a quick search this was a significant issue especially in Visual 
Studio (where it could cause memory corruption), but very recent versions of 
the standard (C++20 and later) declare that _placement_ new of arrays must not 
introduce an overhead: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75418614

To improve the usefulness of this checker, I weakly support this change, but I 
would also like to see a second opinion from @steakhal @Xazax-hun @haoNoQ or 
other contributors.
