I see your point, but at the same time this does create a 
chicken-and-egg problem.  The use case that inspired me to work on 
allocators is much simpler:  Allocating simple temporary objects in 
performance-critical functions.  I don't have any plans to do containers 
and I don't know of anyone else who does in the short term.  Is there a 
way to avoid waiting indefinitely to get allocators into Phobos?
