How does allocators fit in this? Will it be an additional argument to the function. Or a separate stack that one can push and pop allocators to?
There would be one allocator per thread (changeable) deferring to a global interlocked allocator. Most algorithms would just use whatever allocator is installed.
I know the notion of a thread-local and then global allocator is liable to cause some an apoplexy attack. But it's time to model things as they are - memory is a global resource and it ought to be treated as such. No need to pass allocators around except for special cases.
