-/// An implementation of `AllocRef` can allocate, reallocate, and
-/// deallocate arbitrary blocks of data described via `Layout`.
-///
-/// `AllocRef` is designed to be implemented on ZSTs, references, or
-/// smart pointers because having an allocator like `MyAlloc([u8; N])`
-/// cannot be moved, without updating the pointers to the allocated
-/// memory.
-///
-/// Some of the methods require that a memory block be *currently
-/// allocated* via an allocator. This means that:
-///
-/// * the starting address for that memory block was previously
-///   returned by a previous call to an allocation method (`alloc`,
-///   `alloc_zeroed`) or reallocation method (`realloc`), and
-///
-/// * the memory block has not been subsequently deallocated, where
-///   blocks are deallocated either by being passed to a deallocation
-///   method (`dealloc`) or by being passed to a reallocation method
-///  (see above) that returns `Ok`.
-///
-/// A note regarding zero-sized types and zero-sized layouts: many
-/// methods in the `AllocRef` trait state that allocation requests
-/// must be non-zero size, or else undefined behavior can result.
-///
-/// * If an `AllocRef` implementation chooses to return `Ok` in this
-///   case (i.e., the pointer denotes a zero-sized inaccessible block)
-///   then that returned pointer must be considered "currently
-///   allocated". On such an allocator, *all* methods that take
-///   currently-allocated pointers as inputs must accept these
-///   zero-sized pointers, *without* causing undefined behavior.
-///
-/// * In other words, if a zero-sized pointer can flow out of an
-///   allocator, then that allocator must likewise accept that pointer
-///   flowing back into its deallocation and reallocation methods.
-///
-/// Some of the methods require that a layout *fit* a memory block.
-/// What it means for a layout to "fit" a memory block means (or
-/// equivalently, for a memory block to "fit" a layout) is that the
-/// following two conditions must hold:
-///
-/// 1. The block's starting address must be aligned to `layout.align()`.
-///
-/// 2. The block's size must fall in the range `[use_min, use_max]`, where:
-///
-///    * `use_min` is `layout.size()`, and
-///
-///    * `use_max` is the capacity that was returned.
-///
-/// Note that:
-///
-///  * the size of the layout most recently used to allocate the block
-///    is guaranteed to be in the range `[use_min, use_max]`, and
-///
-///  * a lower-bound on `use_max` can be safely approximated by a call to
-///    `usable_size`.
-///
-///  * if a layout `k` fits a memory block (denoted by `ptr`)
-///    currently allocated via an allocator `a`, then it is legal to
-///    use that layout to deallocate it, i.e., `a.dealloc(ptr, k);`.
-///
-///  * if an allocator does not support overallocating, it is fine to
-///    simply return `layout.size()` as the allocated size.
-///
-/// # Safety
-///
-/// The `AllocRef` trait is an `unsafe` trait for a number of reasons, and
-/// implementors must ensure that they adhere to these contracts:
-///
-/// * Pointers returned from allocation functions must point to valid memory and
-///   retain their validity until at least one instance of `AllocRef` is dropped
-///   itself.
-///
-/// * Cloning or moving the allocator must not invalidate pointers returned
-///   from this allocator. Cloning must return a reference to the same allocator.
-///
-/// * `Layout` queries and calculations in general must be correct. Callers of
-///   this trait are allowed to rely on the contracts defined on each method,
-///   and implementors must ensure such contracts remain true.
-///
-/// Note that this list may get tweaked over time as clarifications are made in
-/// the future.
