Using a memory manager would reliably wipe strings etc. when reallocated (i.e

it would have the overhead of also overwriting blocks that the user knew were
being freed and could audit first, as well as stuff that was being freed as part
of the RTL operation.
It's that latter case- where the RTL is copying something without the user being
aware- that I think is significant.
