Please don't use Unchecked_Deallocation. You must take responsibility
for storage management, otherwise you're at the mercy of your compiler
vendor.
(As time goes on, how does repeated use of new/dealloc affect
the heap? What is the timing behavior? I worked on a system that made
unbridled use of new/dealloc, and after a while calling allocator new
NEVER RETURNED TO THE CALLER.)
It's very simple to implement your own storage manager.
