1. Memory management: when are calls to allocation and deallocation 
primitives made?

2. Allocators: what are the allocation and deallocation primitives, and 
how are they implemented?

3. Memory model: how is memory effected by programs? (of interest for 
compiler implementers and thread safety)

There is occasional confusion among the three. I myself was in the woods 
for a while thinking that allocators should do memory management.
