Apologies, I missed this email :( I don't see any minutes, there was no 
techboard?

As for "arguments", I have no strong opinions on whether this library 
should be added or not. It seems like a viable alternative to using 
mempools when a certain amount of scratch space is needed for whatever 
reasons (I remember having discussions about current allocator being too 
heavyweight for this kind of scenario), so to me, it's not that I'm 
particularly fond of the library, it's moreso that I think that it 
sounds useful and I don't have any strong objections to its inclusion.

Thanks,
Anatoly
