//
//  Allocation of blocks is maintained in a separate data structure.
//  There is no allocation overhead in the allocation arena itself.
//  
//  A single vector of "walls" is maintained, sorted by position:
//  
//    * Each transition between free and allocated is a single entry.
//      The number of entries is <num-free-ranges> + <num-used-ranges>.
//    * By definition, free areas start at the positions indicated
//      by the entries on even indices. Allocated ones use odd entries.
//    * There is an extra <0,0> free slot at the very beginning. This
//      simplifies boundary conditions at the start of the arena.
//    * Position zero cannot be allocated, first slot starts at 1.
//
//  Properties of this approach:
//
//    * No allocation overhead for adjacent allocated areas. On the
//      other hand, the allocator does not know the size of used slots.
//    * Alternate function allows marking a specific range as occupied.
//    * Allocator can be initialized as either all free or all in-use.
//    * Allocation info contains only integers, it could be stored.
//    * To extend allocated slots: "occupy" extra bytes at the end.
//    * Generic: can be used for memory, disk files, and array entries.
