I'd really love to help to cut down on the echo issues.
The std lib includes a bunch of cruft that we don't want. Better to do this early, than to wait for dependencies to pile up.
Currently, mimallocator set of tests are rather lacking. Add additional tests and also see about being good code citizens by upstreaming them back to mimallocatro.
Currently, you have to manually build it. See about fixing build.rs or Cargo.toml to build it too when calling cargo from the top level crate.
Currently, we can only port functions that don't call any mimalloc functions, so bottom up only. It would be nice to support swapping out middle and top functions.
Being able to easily get performance stats for the rust impl vs the c impl is important if we want to convince people to use this instead.
This won't work yet on Windows and will need additionally testing and code change for supporting that platform.
Forking is always a bit hazy to me, but some effort to be taken to make it clear that this fork inherits the same license and contribution rules as mimallocator.
