Allocators work with void[] arrays which require memory to be 
contiguous. This idea of fragmented memory simply isn't 
compatible with allocators. Such a library could provide a range 
interface but it would have to be wrapped in a container of some 
sort. It could potentially be a candidate for std.container 
though.
