True.  If we wanted to strictly conform to ANSI C, we couldn't do many
things we do.

I think there is talk though to make it impossible to turn off
pymalloc in the future (you can still turn it off in Python 2.3).

I haven't heard of platforms where turning off pymalloc is required --
unless we hear about those, I expect that for 2.4, pymalloc may no
longer be optional.  (The reason: maintaining two versions of the same
code is a pain, and usually the version that's not selected by default
is severely broken after a few releases.)
