I don't see any need for memory pools, at least not for frontend
applications of the currently envisioned levels of complexity. I concur
with Alvaro's suggestion about just #define'ing them to malloc/free ---
or maybe better, pg_malloc/free so that we can have a failure-checking
wrapper.
Not sure how we ought to handle elog, but maybe we can put off that bit
of design until we have a more concrete use-case.
