Why not reject the dynamic instantiation of a class with non-virtual destructor?

Hi,

Why not treat as erroneous a new expression that creates an instance of a
class which has a (direct or indirect) base class with a non-virtual
destructor and require implementations issue a diagnostic message? This
would minimize the chances for resource leaks and for undefined behaviour
in
C++ programs.
