And then we'd probably need INoGCAllocator and
ISharedNOGCAllocator...
Wasn't one major selling point of compile time introspection /
duck typing that we could stop using interfaces such... naming
schemes?
IAllocator is too high level an interface, it doesn't carry any
information as to what type of memory it can allocate (so we can
only assume unshared), and does or does it not use GC (so we can
only assume GC).
If we are to devise types with allocators as members instead of
type arguments, we need the additional information. Better to
catch invalid assignment at compile time than to chase down how a
stack allocator from one thread ended up in another.
