the restrictions on the allocator are:
  - must be copyable
  - functions allocate() and deallocate() must not throw (allocate() 
should return zero instead)

so - the allocator can be state-full and can shared between several 
contexts/fiber etc. You could implement an allocator managing a pool of 
stack-space.
