This allocator isn't complete and is a bit bit-rotted at this point.
But if someone wants to take it and run with it, I think it would be
a very good idea.  Unfortunately, my job doesn't provide me the
time to write two allocators.  :(

Some other folks have been working on other algorithms, but I don't
know what stage they're at.
