Yes, I briefly considered that, but I didn't want to think about
possible effects of the increased size of 'struct slabname'. I suspect
that it is very unlikely to cause an issue, but I had similar concerns
with the 'ALLOC_GROW' patch, were it would have been more likely to
cause memory pressure issues (to e.g. s/int/size_t/). I decided that it
could be addressed separately, with a patch on top, if necessary.
