 	Memory allocated in this way does not have to be freed explicitly;
 	it will all be freed when the pool is destroyed.  In fact,
 	attempting to free this memory may result in a core dump.
-	The pair of pointers ncalloc and alloc may point to either
-	zalloc & zcalloc or halloc & hcalloc; permalloc() sets them to the
-	former, and heapalloc() sets them to the latter. This can be useful.
-	For example, the dupstruct() routine duplicates a syntax tree,
-	allocating the new memory for the tree using alloc().  If you want
-	to duplicate a structure for a one-time use (i.e. to execute the list
-	in a for loop), call heapalloc(), then dupstruct().  If you want
-	to duplicate a structure in order to preserve it (i.e. a function
-	definition), call permalloc(), then dupstruct().
-
-	If we use zsh's own allocator we use a simple trick to avoid that
-	the (*real*) heap fills up with empty zsh-heaps: we allocate a
-	large block of memory before allocating a heap pool, this memory
-	is freed again immediately after the pool is allocated. If there
-	are only small blocks on the free list this guarantees that the
-	memory for the pool is at the end of the memory which means that
-	we can give it back to the system when the pool is freed.

+	If possible, the heaps are allocated using mmap() so that the

+	a heap pool, this memory is freed again immediately after the pool
