How about a simple way to allocate in TLS? Could be a garbage collected 
heap, which stops only the current thread when collecting.

It doesn't need to be an all out solution, and you could just advise 
against casting the pointers away from TLS, just as is done with 
immutability.

Then again, I have not measured the performance differences involved in 
the current solution, maybe this is a non-problem.
