Any reason why the ns can't be "allocator?"  This code will
coexist with any allocator library that may appear, I should
think, and these should interoperate with such a library; it
might even become part of such a library.  I can't see a problem
with them sharing a ns.  (That also suggests that the directory
for the header is boost/allocator/detail.)
