It seemed interesting to me because this has the distinct advantage of not necessitating a type parameter, which was also a 'revelation' when dealing with forward compatible ways to design markers for a type being transmutable from bytes (compare my blog post on the topic). This comes at the cost of extra layout size of all containers containing such an allocator.
