An XML parser would probably want some kind of stack segment

I had considered putting that in RegionAllocator but I was
skeptical of the benefit, at least assuming we're targeting PCs
and not embedded devices. The default segment size is 4MB.
Trying to make the initial size any smaller won't save much
memory. Four megabytes is also big enough that new segments
would be allocated so infrequently that the cost would be
negligible. I concluded that the added complexity wasn't
justified.
