Some of them would not, some of them would still be. But also please
note that the patches here that deal with differences between allocators
are usually the low hanging fruits compared to the rest.
I agree that long term it not only better, but inevitable, if we are
going to merge both.
But right now, I think we should agree with the implementation itself -
so if you have any comments on how I am handling these, I'd be happy to
hear. Then we can probably set up a tree that does both, or get your
patches merged and I'll rebase, etc.
