Well actually we don't do anything to *prevent* you from calling
malloc, assuming the libc for your platform includes one. We just
discourage it  (because we think it's likely to impact reliability),
and provide compile-time-allocation alternatives... (essentially
generic components and the "magic" unique and uniqueCount functions)
