But these seem to require passing a mallocator. I simply want
to pass an already allocated region/block/buffer and have the
allocators use it. I will allocate and free on my own.
Huh? Where does it say that a mallocator is required?
As far as I can tell, you could simply do this:
void[] myBuffer = ...;
auto allocator = Region!()(myBuffer);
auto p = allocator.allocate(...);
The default parent allocator is NullAllocator, which does
nothing, so that leaves the management of myBuffer entirely up
to you.

Thanks. All the examples show using a size rather than an array
so I assumed that was the case.
