One thing I'm not sure is addressed by this design is memory
locality. I know of libnuma http://linux.die.net/man/3/numa

be allocated from at run-time for each allocation.
Not being part of the interface do not mean that the allocator
cannot accept parameters. Via state for instance.
It is likely that I have a misunderstanding but as I understand
the proposal, I could not use the same allocator to allocate
memory with different locality domains. This seems like something
that would be desirable for the base allocator of a hierarchy.
