    This is intended as infrastructure for a full-fledged allocator for
    dynamic shared memory.  The interface looks a bit like a real
    allocator, but only supports allocating and freeing memory in
    multiples of the 4kB page size.  Further, to free memory, you must
    know the size of the span you wish to free, in pages.  While these are
    make it unsuitable as an allocator in and of itself, it still serves
    as very useful scaffolding for a full-fledged allocator.
    
    Robert Haas and Thomas Munro.  This code is mostly the same as my 2014
    submission, but Thomas fixed quite a few bugs and made some changes to
    the interface.
