Now that https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8269 was fixed, how about that idea of using with(scopeAllocator(...)) { /* use theAllocator */ } ?

I.e. encapsulating

auto oldAllocator = theAllocator;
scope(exit) theAllocator = oldAllocator;
theAllocator = allocatorObject(...);

into a nice RAII type and then using it with WithStatement.

*Reads module name* "...toilets? Oh. Wait. This is is allocator stuff."

Looks like there's a macro expansion problem in makeArray's "Throws:" section.

IAllocator.empty and IAllocator.zeroesAllocations, CAllocatorImpl.impl, CAllocatorImpl.empty, and CAllocatorImpl.zeroesAllocations are missing @property.

Can we get a different name for "kill"? That makes me think of processes. How about "dispose"?

Sounds good, will do. Thanks! -- Andrei

The links for allocator.temp and allocator.typed lead to 404 pages.

Sorry, those modules are not used anymore (stuff that used to be in typed is now in porcelain and temp is just a dump).

Sadly that won't be possible with the current design; all higher-level functions are not methods and instead rely on UFCS. -- Andrei

Not what I meant. This is your idea:

I thought dishes and tea cups. :)

If it is related to allocators, I am not familiar with that term. Could someone please explain why "porcelain"?
