You might want to take a look at it. Is it reasonable to include such a functionality in a Unix standard? I don't know if memory allocators should be considered part of the C language, or part of the Unix OS, but given the fuss that went on recently (in net.unix-wizards?) about the issue, it seems that it should be addressed somewhere. Of course, my implementation isn't necessarily the best one (or even a good one), but I think the idea is sound.
