//
// For example containers compatible with compacting allocators see:
//   - managed_ref - managed version of std::unique_ptr<>
//   - managed_bytes - managed version of "bytes"
//
// Note: When object is used as an element inside intrusive containers,
// typically no extra measures need to be taken for reference tracking, if the
// link member is movable. When object is moved, the member hook will be moved
// too and it should take care of updating any back-references. The user must
// be aware though that any iterators into such container may be invalidated
// across deferring points.

// example standard allocator (for temporary data), or log-structured
// allocator for long-lived data. In case of LSA, objects may be allocated
// inside different LSA regions. Objects should be freed only from the region
// which owns it.
//
// There's a problem of how to ensure correct usage of allocators. Storing the
// reference to the allocator used for construction of some object inside that
// object is a possible solution. This has a disadvantage of extra space
// overhead per-object though. We could avoid that if the code which decides
// about which allocator to use is also the code which controls object's life
// time. That seems to be the case in current uses, so a simplified scheme of
// passing allocators will do. Allocation strategy is set in a thread-local
// context, as shown below. From there, aware objects pick up the allocation
// strategy. The code controlling the objects must ensure that object allocated
// in one regime is also freed in the same regime.
//
// with_allocator() provides a way to set the current allocation strategy used
// within given block of code. with_allocator() can be nested, which will
// temporarily shadow enclosing strategy. Use current_allocator() to obtain
// currently active allocation strategy. Use current_deleter() to obtain a
// Deleter object using current allocation strategy to destroy objects.
//
// Example:
//
//   logalloc::region r;
//   with_allocator(r.allocator(), [] {
//       auto obj = make_managed<int>();
