This is because the AIX compiler (xlclang++) complains if 'operator new' is called on a class where 'operator delete' is marked as deleted (ie. `operator delete(void*) = delete`). This is the case even when 'operator new' is explicitly defined.

An alternate solution is to change ResouceObj to AnyObj in 61 places. This alternative solution works since AnyObj defines both 'operator new' and 'operator delete'. This is both a much bigger change, and doesn't provide any additional benefit if instances of ResourceObj are being reviewed anyway.

Thanks for your comments, clarifications and suggestions all! I am converting this to a draft to avoid spamming the mailing list while I investigate further the possibilities above.
