I have no problem with the library in general. I simply found it impossible
to make a clone when using it. I've made my suggestion of passing the parent
allocator to the clone_allocators static clone method. I'm happy to leave it
at that.

At the end of the day, I just change my local branch anyway ;) I'll think
about a way of doing it that you may find preferable over passing the
allocator to the clone_allocator.
