Right. This is roughly equivalent to allocating a new segment. I might put more
details into the docs about the heuristics used, but I'm not sure how much I
should document them. They're somewhat complicated, may change, and are
implementation details. On the other hand, the whole point of TempAlloc is a
performance optimization, and knowing such details is useful for predicting
performance. On the third hand, it's open source. If you really want to know
**exactly** how it works instead of just how to use it, you can always read the code.
