Hi Etienne,

I'd like to see a linear allocator. An arena/pool from which objects
of multiple sizes can be allocated, but memory isn't reused and only
freed once the pool is destroyed.

And a pool that also supports objects of multiple sizes which does
support memory reuse (for use with containers).
