Compile-time branching on type size between segregator members during segregator. allocate()

After looking at

and
std.experimental.allocator.building_blocks.segregator.Segregator
I wonder if
Segregator.allocate()
is missing an important optimization on calls to
someSegregatorInstance.make!T()
where the choice of selecting the right segregator member can be
done at _compile-time_ instead of run-time because `T.sizeof` is
known at compile time. If so, what about adding an optional
member to the allocator API, say,
void[] allocate(size_t s)()
that can realize this idea?
