I just updated the Kernighan-Ritchie allocator, including documentation:

It's not a high performance allocator. Initially I'd implemented it just 
for historical perspective and to make sure the allocator API is 
expressive enough to do it justice.

However, a simple idea makes it competitive: rig it to work as a region 
allocator first, classic KR allocator when the region is exhausted. This 
makes for a highly recommended "region with deallocate".
