The small stack allocator is just like a stack allocator, with the only
difference being an extremely small header size. Unlike the stack allocator,
small stack allows out-of order freeing of memory.
small stack allows out-of order freeing of memory, with the stipulation that
all allocations made after the freed allocation will become invalidated upon
following allocations as they will begin to overwrite the memory formerly used
by the freed allocation.
The memory is allocated in the backing buffer linearly, from start to end.
Each subsequent allocation will get the next adjacent memory region.
