https://howardhinnant.github.io/stack_alloc.html. Howard has also
published: https://howardhinnant.github.io/allocator_boilerplate.html ,
which makes it a doddle to write your own STL-style allocators
(particularly in C++17, as it seems to get simpler as we go along).

Using static_vector instead is much safer.

 https://github.com/gnzlbg/static_vector is fully constexpr and up for std,
AFAIK.

Happy New Year to all on the list.
