with the "many small mallocs" problem. This a good example where C

In Pascal, such an approach would be unnecessary if your compiler was
smart enough to allocate more than one object's worth of space at a
time, which you can't do with C because you don't pass any type
information to malloc that would let malloc handle it.
I.e., the bit they implemented in C? That should be in the
compiler/runtime for languages that actually are statically typed.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
