Allocating a class or struct instance with a given allocator seems not
to be part of the standard allocator interface. Why is that?
Pure oversight.  This should probably be fixed.

BTW, any suggestions for a name for a function like this?  I can't think of a 
good
one.


Best suited would be 'New', but that would probably be against Phobos 
naming conventions (we could add an exception for names that would 
otherwise be keywords):

alloc.New!MyClass(arg1, arg2);

with(alloc) New!MyClass(arg1, arg2);

Others:

'instanceAlloc' or 'newInstance' (or 'instAlloc' or 'newInst'):

alloc.instanceAlloc!MyClass(arg1, arg2);
alloc.newInstance!MyClass(arg1, arg2);


Just 'instantiate' or 'instance':

alloc.instantiate!MyClass(arg1, arg2);
alloc.instance!MyClass(arg1, arg2);
