//: Reclaiming memory when it's no longer used.

# both allocations should have returned the same address

//: When abandoning addresses we'll save them to a 'free list', segregated by size.

//: Before, suppose variable V contains address A which points to payload P:
//:   location V contains an alloc-id N
//:   location V+1 contains A
//:   location A contains alloc-id N
//:   location A+1 onwards contains P
//: Additionally, suppose the head of the free list is initially F.
//: After abandoning:
//:   location V contains invalid alloc-id -1
//:   location V+1 contains 0
//:   location A contains invalid alloc-id N
//:   location A+1 contains the previous head of free-list F
