Hey Bill,

If there is no simple way to free up what may be an array of many

for those cases) by the use of GArray.
After a quick look, one concern I have is about constantly extending a
GArray thus causing a copy each time. I note that it does seem that
space for multiple entries can be pre-allocated. So: a wrapper for
GArray could be coded which more or less does what I GMemChunk used to
do. Or: does GArray have some builtin optimization ?
Comments ?
(or: what am I missing as to the best way to replace the use of
GMemChunk ?).
Is there any reason why we couldn't use se_alloc and friends? This
should be faster now that we're defaulting to _not_ use canaries for
seasonal memory.
