Ah, my bad, I guess I've been misunderstanding how the Allocator proposal works all along (I thought it was only for 'static allocators, this actually makes a lot more sense!).

I guess all that to say, I agree then that this should've been in std from day one.

The problem is, everything should have been there since day 1. It’s still unclear which API Rust should end up with, even today, which is why it isn’t stable yet.

Looking forward to the API when it's stabilised. Have there been any updates on the progress of allocators of this general area of Rust over the past year?

I haven’t paid that close of attention, but there have been two major APIs that people seem to be deciding between. We’ll see.
