Yes, but in addition to that, the concern is:

Given:

     new block<int, small_object_allocator&lt;int> >(/* a1 */)

I still don't see how the 'new block<T, A>(...)' is going to use 'a1' for
the block<T, A> allocation. 

I can see how it could not use '::operator new(std::size_t)' if you have
overloaded operator new for block<T, A>, but at that point, you still
wouldn't know  'a1' (though you do know the type 'A').

Just using A{}.allocate(...) is not sufficient, especially if A is a
stateful allocator. i.e. A might not even be default-constructible: the only
way to construct an A instance might require providing that state (a1) (or
copy-construct given an existing A instance).
