+/// an object instance.
+///
+/// In order to be able to support `#[derive(SmartPointer)]` later on, we need to avoid a design
+/// that requires an `Allocator` to be instantiated, hence its functions must not contain any kind
+/// of `self` parameter.
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// - A memory allocation returned from an allocator must remain valid until it is explicitly freed.
+///
+/// - Any pointer to a valid memory allocation must be valid to be passed to any other [`Allocator`]
+/// function of the same type.
+///
+/// - Implementers must ensure that all trait functions abide by the guarantees documented in the
+/// `# Guarantees` sections.
