+  SYNOPSIS
+    reset_root_defaults()
+    mem_root        memory root to change defaults of
+    block_size      new value of block size. Must be 
+                    greater than ~68 bytes (the exact value depends on
+                    platform and compilation flags)
+    pre_alloc_size  new size of preallocated block. If not zero,
+                    must be equal to or greater than block size,
+                    otherwise means 'no prealloc'.
+  DESCRIPTION
+    Function aligns and assigns new value to block size; then it tries to
+    reuse one of existing blocks as prealloc block, or malloc new one of
+    requested size. If no blocks can be reused, all unused blocks are freed
+    before allocation.
