Maybe its too advanced for me as a beginner now its just I am curious over the usage and applications with a simple hello world like example explaining what this library will accomplish. I asked it previously at https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4hti33/dconf_2016_is_streaming_right_now/d2satic/ but still I don't understand the exact applications of the same.

Allocators might be a good addition to the articles pages on the 
website.  Not sure if this has been discussed or if we are adding 
much there.
