Ah, I see.  s-pooloc just overrides Allocate and Deallocate so it can
keep track of the allocations/deallocations, so Finalize can free
things.  The actual storage allocation is still done from the original
heap by the original allocator.  Yes, even a mediocre programmer
should be able to do that without danger.  I thought you were
suggesting that he whip up his own storage allocator.
