Hugh,
I've a question about how borrowing is implemented internally as it can lead
to a problem, if I allow lots of memory can my program stall because of this
at the end of a block. In addition due to this does borrow checking 
limit or
not implement something like freelists or caching to get better usage of the
CPU cache as that's also a concern.

Thanks,
Nick
