    This file is derived from the FSB Allocator by Juha Nieminen.  The
    underlying method is unchanged, but the class has been refactored
    to permit multiple separate allocators (e.g. one per thread)
    rather than use a single global one (and to fit house style).

/**
 * BlockAllocator is a simple allocator for fixed-size (usually small)
 * chunks of memory.  The size of an element is specified in the
 * BlockAllocator constructor, and the functions allocate() and
 * deallocate() are used to obtain and release a single element at a
 * time.
 *
 * BlockAllocator may be an appropriate class to use in situations
 * involving a very large number of allocations and deallocations of
 * simple, identical objects across multiple threads (a hard situation
 * for a generic system malloc implementation to handle well).  Retain
 * one BlockAllocator per thread (the class itself is not
 * thread-safe), and ensure that each thread uses its own allocator
 * exclusively.
 *
 * BlockAllocator is based on Juha Nieminen's more general
 * FSBAllocator.
