The nested class/context pointer argument is a pretty strong one. Of course we could introduce builtins to deal with that but there's not much benefit to that. Having the compiler rewrite "new(MallocAllocator) MyClass(a,b,c)" to "void[] __buf = MallocAllocator.it.allocate(MyClass.instancesize);" "__construct!MyClass(__buf, a, b, c);" //Has to handle context ptr seems like a good solution. It probably has to support both allocator types(for allocators without state) and allocator instances.
