Thanks for the allocator change!

`Details` now contains just stringrefs. I wonder how much we want it to be 
inherit-friendly at this point, as the size is relatively small now. If you 
think this is a better way to go, I'll make the structure contain strings and 
store the whole structure in arena. This would require some tweaks for yamls 
tho but shouldn't be hard.

How about re-initializing the allocator for each new AST in `intialize`?
