/// \par Important Note
///   Please consult the \ref alib_contmono_intro "Programmer's Manual" of \alib module
///   \alib_monomem_nl for an introduction into the rather complex topic of monotonous and
///   pool allocation and how to use this class.
///
/// This class implements the interface prototyped with \alib{lang;Allocator}.
/// Whenever an object is freed with this allocator, the memory is stored in a stack for later
/// re-use. This means, with allocations, first it is checked if a previously freed object of
/// fitting size is available, and only if not, new memory is allocated.
/// To implement this in a performant way (preferably with compile-time calculations), the following
/// approach was taken:
/// - The size of every allocation request is increased to the next higher power of 2 bound.
///   For example, if a memory piece of 42 bytes is requested, a piece of size 64 bytes is returned.
/// - For each allocation size, a simple stack (single directed linked list) is used to dispose and
///   recycle memory.
/// - The minimum allocation size is <c>sizeof(void*)</c>, because for the recycling mechanism
///   a pointer needs to be stored in the freed pool memory, when it is added to the internal
///   "recycling stack".
/// - This results in only 61 different allocation sizes (on a 64-bit machine).
/// - A fixed alignment for all objects is used. This is also the maximum alignment allowed to pass
///   to methods #allocate and #reallocate. Its value is defined by template parameter
///   \p{TAlignment}, which defaults to what is given with the compiler-symbol
///   \ref ALIB_MONOMEM_POOLALLOCATOR_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT, which in turn defaults to
///   <c>alignof(uint64_t)</c>.
/// - This approach results in only 61 different allocation sizes (on a 64-bit machine).
///
/// The consequences of this strategy are straight forward:
/// - Using this allocator type requires disposing (free) every allocated piece of memory (which is
///   in contrast to \b MonoAllocator).
/// - This type is well suited for allocation scenarios, which release each object within
///   a certain period of time, just to allocate new ones shortly afterward. A good use
///   case example is given with module \alib_threadmodel: Here, request objects are
///   pushed into priority queues, which are disposed after the request got processed. The objects
///   are rather small and of different sizes. In complex server scenarios, it can become quickly
///   millions of messages per second which are created and disposed.
/// - A statistical average of 25% memory allocation overhead (waste) is taken into account with
///   the use of this class.
///
/// Chapter \ref alib_contmono_intro_recycling of the joint Programmer's Manual of modules
/// \alib_containers_nl and \alib_monomem_nl provides an in-depth discussion of what is called
/// "recycling" in this context. Several strategies are proposed with container types provided by
/// module \alib_containers_nl. From this perspective, this allocator could be seen as a
/// "recycling proxy" in front of a \b MonoAllocator (or a different,
/// \ref alib_contmono_chaining "chained" allocator).
///
/// @see
/// - The \ref alib_contmono_intro "Programmer's Manual" of module \alib_monomem_nl.
/// - The "standard" type definition of this template type \alib{MonoAllocator},
///   which uses an \alib{lang;HeapAllocator} as the
///   \ref alib_contmono_chaining "chained allocator".
///
/// @tparam TAllocator The underlying allocator to use.<br>
///                    With type definition \alib{PoolAllocator},this is bound to type
///                    \alib{MonoAllocator}.<br>
///                    With type definition \alib{PoolAllocatorHA},this is bound to type
///                    \alib{lang;HeapAllocator}.<br>
///                    For general information see chapter \ref alib_contmono_chaining
///                    of the Programmer's Manual.
/// @tparam TAlignment The fixed alignment to use. Corresponding method parameters are ignored.<br>
///                    Defaults to the compiler-symbol
///                    \ref ALIB_MONOMEM_POOLALLOCATOR_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT, which in turn defaults
///                    to <c>alignof(uint64_t)</c>.<br>
///                    It is statically asserted that this value is not higher than
