Shoot me now.

I'm happy to hear that the thing worked, but I'm not sure how happy I
should be about yet _another_ allocator. Will it ever end?

But seriously, it looks simple and small enough, so in that sense there
doesn't seem to be a problem. But I really don't look forward to another
one of these, at least not without somebody deciding that yes, we can
prune one of the old ones as never being better. Hmm?
