Hi

I'm going to use Boost.Pool with UserAllocator mapped directly to Windows 
API calls ::VirtualAlloc and ::VirtualFree. So it makes no sense to allocate 
less than SYSTEM_INFO::dwAllocationGranularity, which currently equals to 
65536.

To my surprise, I have not found anything like this in documentation. But 
I've seen in source code this:
    // pre: npartition_size != 0 && nnext_size != 0
    explicit pool(const size_type nrequested_size,
        const size_type nnext_size = 32)

So is "nnext_size" what I was looking for ? And what does mean "an 
extension", is there an official proposal of Pool for future standard ?
