When you get around to documentation, in some sort of "maintainer's 
guide", this information would be useful to prevent a future
maintainer or someone who thinks they've got a better implementation
from going down the same dead-end road.  In particular, a benchmark
so this "future someone" could easily test is "maybe better"
implementation.

It's more work, but it'd help other's and maybe yourself in the
future in case boost::object_pool improves it's implementation.
