There is functionality in std.allocator to get anyone started who 
doesn't want to sit down and define their own allocator.

People who want to do that can import std.allocator.building_blocks 
which is a package fully including all that's needed.

I'm not afraid of creating precedent if that's the best way to go. 
Again: I have the impression we're blocked into an assumption we didn't 
take critically until now.
