[boost] singleton allocators

In my code, I use the term allocator for policies that mirror the Loki 
singleton creator policies.  For example, my dynamic_allocator class 
maps almost directly to Alexandrescu's CreateUsingNew policy.  It has 
been suggested that allocator is a misleading term, because users will 
think that such classes were meant to work with the allocator policy 
used in the standard containers.  Is the term allocator really that 
misleading?  Should I make the massive change in my code to refer to 
these classes as creators?
