IAllocator is too high level an interface, it doesn't carry any

Initially all fresh memory is unshared. Whether or not the user
subsequently shares it is of no consequence to the allocator.
Why would we need any ISharedAllocator then?
The allocator itself may be shared across threads, in which case its
primitives need to be reentrant. -- Andrei
