There would be one allocator per thread (changeable) deferring to a 
global interlocked allocator. Most algorithms would just use whatever 
allocator is installed.

I know the notion of a thread-local and then global allocator is liable 
to cause some an apoplexy attack. But it's time to model things as they 
are - memory is a global resource and it ought to be treated as such. No 
need to pass allocators around except for special cases.
