+/* These routines allocate space for an object. The assumption is
+ that the object will want to allocate space as it goes along, but
+ will never want to free any particular block. There is a function
+ to free a block, which also frees all more recently allocated
+ blocks. There is also a function to free all the allocated space.
+
+ This is essentially a specialization of obstacks. The main
+ difference is that a block may not be allocated a bit at a time.
+ Another difference is that these routines are always built on top
+ of malloc, and always pass an malloc failure back to the caller,
+ unlike more recent versions of obstacks. */
