Hi, does this already work? This would make it possible to allocate T 
within a memory-mapped file. I would like to give it a try.

Not sure how to deal with re-allocation problem as pointers within the 
MMF need to be MMF relative and not absolut. IMO via operator 
overloading this should be possible to handle in the background.
