My main purposes right now are familiarizing myself with Boost.

 From reading the header file for aligned_storage, I believe that I 
understand how to do what you're suggesting, although I admit that I am 
somewhat shaky -- I'd have to figure it out by implementing it, I think.

But correct me if I'm wrong: I don't think that it would be possible to 
use purge_memory to destruct everything at once like that.  You'd have 
to destruct everything individually.
