Except that dynamically linked Windows Qt applications (read: most)
don't work this way, so Windows users are left out in the cold. DLLs
do not allow you to simply replace one new operator across link
boundaries. See the comments in this Qt bug:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-37395

Is there any strategy for the large body of Qt developers targeting
Windows, or is statically linking the only supported method for
replacing Qt allocators on Windows?
