I've overhauled my TempAlloc proposal based on some of the suggestions
I've received. Here are the major changes:
1. I've reconsidered and decided TempAlloc belongs in its own Phobos
module (std.tempalloc) instead of in core.memory, mainly because it uses
Phobos in ways that aren't easy to get rid of.
2. Move uninitializedArray (formerly newVoid) to its own pull request
for inclusion in std.array. This keeps the TempAlloc proposal more
tightly focused.
3. Make alignedMalloc and friends private for now, again to make the
proposal more tightly focused.
4. Rename tempdup to tempArray to emphasize that is semantics are more
similar to std.array.array than .dup w.r.t. narrow strings.
5. Move newStack into the TempAlloc namespace and rename it
TempAlloc.newArray.
6. TempAlloc.newArray now handles multidimensional arrays. Its syntax
is slightly modified to accommodate this. Before:
double[] foo = newStack!double(100);
After:
double[] foo = TempAlloc.newArray!(double[])(100);
