I suspect it will still be fine to use in situations where a 
loose aliasing policy is required (so GC-exclusive 
characteristics are depended on), such as scripts and certain 
other application code. The same goes for using the concatenation 
operators, over `Appender` et al. with a pluggable allocator.

For libraries though - definitely should be a red flag.
