I agree.
Is there some way we could have
"allocator contexts"?
E.G.
with( auto allocator = ReferencedCounted() )
Don't confuse memory allocation with memory management. There's no such
a thing as a "reference counted allocator".

Sure, but combining the two could be very useful -- as we have noticed
with a allocators that work off of a garbage collector. With regards
to reference counting, you could implement one that automatically wraps
the type in an RC struct and proxies them. Being able to redefined
aliases during different sections of compilation would be required
though.
