------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 In pool.hpp there's a lot of reinterpret_cast usage like so:

 {{{
 static char * malloc(const size_type bytes)
 {
   return reinterpret_cast<char *>(std::malloc(bytes));
 }
 }}}

 This is a case where static_cast should be used instead.
 reinterpret_cast is known to yield implementation specific behavior.
