Would be nice for the allocator to become a little more bulletproof. Specifically, it would be good to have:

Corruption checking (per-arena cookies -- check for buffer overruns, and check to make sure that memory is returned to the heap it was allocated from)
Allocator heap integrity check function
Allocator heap size used diagnostics (i.e., memory leak tracking)

Additionally

high water mark for this arena (i.e., max memory used this session. reset on app reload)
