 *
 *
 *	This memory context is based on the assumption that the chunks are freed
 *	roughly in the same order as they were allocated (FIFO), or in groups with
 *	similar lifespan (generations - hence the name of the context). This is
 *	typical for various queue-like use cases, i.e. when tuples are constructed,
 *	processed and then thrown away.
 *
 *	The memory context uses a very simple approach to free space management.
 *	Instead of a complex global freelist, each block tracks a number
 *	of allocated and freed chunks. Freed chunks are not reused, and once all
 *	chunks in a block are freed, the whole block is thrown away. When the
 *	chunks allocated in the same block have similar lifespan, this works
 *	very well and is very cheap.
 *
 *	The current implementation only uses a fixed block size - maybe it should
 *	adapt a min/max block size range, and grow the blocks automatically.
 *	It already uses dedicated blocks for oversized chunks.
 *
 *	XXX It might be possible to improve this by keeping a small freelist for
 *	only a small number of recent blocks, but it's not clear it's worth the
 *	additional complexity.
