/*
The arena package provides the ability to allocate memory for a collection
of Go values and free that space manually all at once, safely. The purpose
of this functionality is to improve efficiency: manually freeing memory
before a garbage collection delays that cycle. Less frequent cycles means
the CPU cost of the garbage collector is incurred less frequently.

This functionality in this package is mostly captured in the Arena type.
Arenas allocate large chunks of memory for Go values, so they're likely to
be inefficient for allocating only small amounts of small Go values. They're
best used in bulk, on the order of MiB of memory allocated on each use.

Note that by allowing for this limited form of manual memory allocation
that use-after-free bugs are possible with regular Go values. This package
limits the impact of these use-after-free bugs by preventing reuse of freed
memory regions until the garbage collector is able to determine that it is
safe. Typically, a use-after-free bug will result in a fault and a helpful
error message, but this package reserves the right to not force a fault on
freed memory. That means a valid implementation of this package is to just
allocate all memory the way the runtime normally would, and in fact, it
reserves the right to occasionally do so for some Go values.
