Sure, but it also means it should be really be confined to cases where
it _really_ helps with performance.

Where is this a bottleneck at all?

I also think that this really belongs into a malloc implementation
instead. You might also want to try "alternative" malloc
implementations like jemalloc.

Another bad point is that this will make interaction with memory
debuggers worse. (They can't track whether the memory is considered
allocated or free.)
