It's also not a feature which has consensus, some people like it, and some people think it's too complex. I find putting a smaller and hidden `resizable_array` class In AWFL to be an acceptable compromise. I also believe that `GA` will not find too much competition with `AWFL`, as it has a less rich API and is really meant as an allocator interface rather than a general array type.
