No it won't, but I'd like us to be compared to state of the art
allocator (jemalloc, java's G1 and so on) rather than the current thing
that we have that is universally recognized as being not good, to put it
nicely.
You want to compare yourself to what the best guy in town are doing, not

Of course! I actually do think std.allocator is a net improvement over
the state of the art. And if it isn't, we need to make it so. -- Andrei
