I don't see how having a storage pool of your own affects the need for
unchecked deallocation? If your user wants to return the memory to
your special pool she still has to use deallocation!
I see in
http://www.adapower.com/index.php?Command=Class&ClassID=Advanced&CID=218
that Matt used 'storage pool' in a non-Ada sense, ie list of available
entities, in that case tasks.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/access might be a
good place for storage pool examples?
