wouldn't mixin's be a solution, one can inject an alloca to

Yeah, but mixins are so hacky.
They're like C macros, basically.

Well, I think if the world had never seen all the bad
side-effects from 'C macros', most people would wholeheartedly
embrace mixin's today... since it cleanly avoids 'x' number of
design pitfalls from #define.
For maintenance, performance, portability considerations I
definitely prefer mixin's over reimplementing alloca for every
current and future targets/calling conventions.
