That Wikipedia article is confusing to me, because I’m really used to “region” being used to refer to type-system-level allocation tracking, Tofte&Talpin style (even if the T&T hope of inferring everything didn’t really work out, and the Rust tradition decided to rename the concept to “lifetimes”). “Arena” seems to be a more common term for a purely runtime construct.
