One thing to know about it is that repalloc re-sizes the given chunk
while keeping it in the same memory context it was originally allocated
in (ie, CurrentMemoryContext doesn't matter). This may not matter much
if you're only dealing with allocations that just live as long as the
current function call --- but if you're trying to preserve data across
calls, it's critical to know.
