"No automatic memory management of any kind" is still legit after the latest "Temporary storage" video? #19

Is it? I wouldn't say temp storage is fully automatic since you have to call reset but still...

I guess you'd have to define 'automatic' but I would argue no, since the way the word is typically used describes garbage collection, but the temporary storage video is just a builtin linear allocator.

BTW, there's no mention of temporary storage in this documentation. I personally think it's a pretty interesting idea that is worth documenting.
