This has almost nothing to do with an allocator.
My impression was that std.allocator as-is was designed to create a
toolkit for developers to build different memory management strategies
into their applications. Is there any reason why that should exclude
implementing ref-counting approaches?
As I said at the start, I'm looking to be educated, so I'd appreciate
you explaining why something is wrong rather than just telling me.
Reference counting comes somewhere on top of allocators. (For a long
time I thought they should be fused; now I think they can be neatly
separated.) Allocators know how to manage void[] and that's about it.
