I thought you were done with Boost.Text, but didn't want to over promise

Allocators. Well I work for Bloomberg, and can tell you without a doubt

reality. I also use the pre-standard equivalent of pmr frequently, and find
it useful.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing scoped allocators vanish, but someone
must want them.
