It doesn't depend on abstract types, this fails, even though it should be able
to declare an array of pure* without seeing the definition of pure:

struct pure;

void f()
{
    pure** p = new (pure (*[3]));
}

I think the type-id is parsed correctly (it's fine to use it as a function
parameter, for example) but something checking the semantics of the
new-expression is wrong.
