If we want to do that,
Code:

(regionallocator.d is the main proposal, gcallocator.d is a throw-in wrapper
around the garbage collector to create a standard allocator interface to it.
The
repo is named TempAlloc because that's what the module used to be called before
its overhaul.)
Docs:
http://cis.jhu.edu/~dsimcha/d/phobos/std_regionallocator.html
(I forgot to compile the docs to gcallocator. I'll do that at some point, but I
expect the vast majority of the discussion to be about regionallocator anyhow,
since gcallocator is just a trivial wrapper.)
One more thing: std.regionallocator should **probably** be
std.allocators.regionallocator, but I'm too lazy to change this until we
officially settle on this as a name.
Okay, etc.curl is suspended for the time being, let's move on swiftly!
Personally, I think it would be great to review David's region allocator
soon, both because it is used by two GSoC projects, and because a
well-defined memory allocator interface is key for successful
improvements in other areas, e.g. containers.
Other suggestions?
Jonathan, as I somewhat cheated you out of your post for etc.curl, do
you maybe want to volunteer as the review manager? If nobody else is
inclined to do so, I guess I step up again as well (I even would have
more time to spend on it than for the etc.curl one), but I'd rather not
fill this role twice in a row.
