I’m not sure what those two things have to do with each other, though I did just wake up. The only thing the new allocator stuff would give you is the ability to allocate a standard library data structure with the Postgres allocator. Scoping and handles and such wouldn’t change, and using your own data structures wouldn’t change.

It’s also very possible I’m missing something!

Yeah no this is basically all I'm saying. I'm excited for this.

Ah yeah, well it's gonna be a good feature for sure when it ships!
