Sounds perfect. Thanks. A few issues that I'd like mentioned in the initial announcement because they need to be examined: 1. This is both a proposal for RegionAllocator and a proposal for a more general allocator API in Phobos. The allocator API will be a structural interface that includes the intersection of gcallocator and regionallocator functionality. I don't have a more precise definition yet. Hopefully the review process will hammer out whatever ambiguities remain. 2. Should we put this stuff in a std.allocators package, in a single std.allocators module, or something else? 3. We definitely want a reap (combination region and heap) eventually, though I don't have one yet. I want RegionAllocator to be reviewed for anything that would make it unnecessarily hard to write other allocators on top of it, most importantly reaps but also free lists, etc.
