What is the advantage of freeing an entire subpool vs. freeing the
memory by address?
---------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------
Suppose you have a utility program. Suppose that it allocates storage
for a particular function, in indeterminate amounts. One example of this
might be a linked-list of control information instorage. By doing a
subpool release at the end of a particular function, you can vastly
simplify the various clean-up tasks in preparation for the next
function. (Like for the next control statement, maybe.)
