What exactly did you have in mind? Would this replace malloc() et al.? 
or does this "augment" malloc()?

If this would be a potential replacement, would you mind discussing this 
on the avr-libc-dev mailing list? All of the developers of avr-libc are 
on that list and it's probably more appropriate to discuss it there.

Thanks!
