The documentation / spec [1][2] states that realloc and free should do nothing
when they're passed interior pointers.

Currently realloc / free still operate on the underlying memory blocks
regardless.

I started working on the fix for realloc but decided that it should really be
discussed before spending more time on it.

Discuss :)
