I'd say there is only 1 requirement: implementing `malloc`,
`realloc`, and `free` in idiomatic D without any dependencies
on other libraries from other languages.

Also what about other implementations like memset or memcmp.
Have they been implemented or require work from scratch?
These functions are still mostly implemented in asm, so I'm not
sure there is an "idiomatic D" way. I would only wrap them into a
function working with slices and checking the length. Mike?
So the only option to implement the above is to go through
Eugene's code, take some measurements and see if it can be
improved.
As said my allocator is nothing official but I would be overhappy
if someone finds it useful. I can also advice to look at Doug Lea
malloc:
http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html
It is like a book. It's one of the best documented programs I've
ever seen.
