/// Suite of custom allocator templates for special behavior and optimization
///
/// These tools can be used as alternatives to the standard allocator. Most
/// templates implement the std::allocator concept and can be used with
/// std:: containers by specifying them in the container's template parameter.
///
/// The ircd::allocator::fixed is the prototypical justification for these
/// tools. It allows you to build a memory pool with a size known at compile-
/// time at the place of your choosing (i.e the stack) for any STL container. A
/// simple std::vector constructed on the stack with a fixed number of elements
/// known at construction time won't otherwise magically optimize away the
/// allocation for the elements; worse, a non-contiguous container like
/// std::list, std::map or std::set will conduct allocations for each modifying
/// operation. Having the fixed pool on the stack plugged into these containers
/// trivializes those requests and releases of memory.
///
/// The ircd::allocator::dynamic performs a single allocation of a contiguous
/// memory block with a size specified at runtime. This block can then be used
/// by a container.
///
/// The ircd::allocator::node is an interface for allowing one to manually deal
/// with the elements of an STL container similar to a C style container where
/// a "node" is constructed at the user's discretion and then inserted and
/// removed from the container.

/// simple interface to a bit array representing the availability of an element
/// in a pool of elements. The actual array of the proper number of bits must
/// be supplied by the user of the state. The allocator using this interface
/// can use any strategy to flip these bits but the default next()/allocate()
/// functions scan for the next available contiguous block of zero bits and
/// then wrap around when reaching the end of the array. Once a full iteration
/// of the array is made without finding satisfaction, an std::bad_alloc is
/// thrown.
