Good idea.  I also want to make a new <ext/memory> header, containing the
temporary_buffer extension class from SGI, and making all the other names
available to users, like

  namespace __gnu_cxx
  {
    typedef  ::std::__single_client_alloc  single_client_alloc;
    typedef  ::std::__debug_alloc          debug_alloc;
    ...
  }

Dunno what namespace should be used for pthread_allocimpl.h, the
temporary_buffer class, etc.

Not sure what you're suggesting by "promoting to the same status".  I'm up
for including it in that list above, and then advertising an allocator
with a per-thread free list, if that's what you had in mind?
