/*	Storage allocation is one of the most expensive operations in
	the compiler and consequently much thought and experimentation
	has gone into it.  To simplify the hooking in of new super-fancy
	algorithms, all allocating and freeing of storage for structs
	goes through the macros
		st_alloc(&head, size)
		st_free(ptr, head, size)
	which, hopefully, convey enough information.
