A thread-local memory allocator backed up by the concept of object pools,
used to address the memory allocation needs of `arendur`.

This crate is useful when

- you want to frequently create and destroy some objects
- these objects are copyable small ones, with size under 256 bytes
- you want the underlying memory to be reused
- you want a unified interface for the pool, rather than a typed one

# Usage

```rust
use aren_alloc::Allocator;
#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
struct Point(u32, u32);
let allocator = Allocator::new();
let p = allocator.alloc(Point(1, 2));
assert_eq!(p.0, 1);
assert_eq!(p.1, 2);
```

As `CoerceUnsized` is supported for `Pointer`, compiling would require a nightly version.
