+	   1.  We are shrinking the final allocation
+	   2.  We are shrinking any other allocation
+	   3.  We are growing the final allocation
+	   4.  We are growing any other allocation
+
+	   Shrinking is typically a no-op, however in case 1 we can be a bit smart.
+	   If we want to shrink the most recent allocation we can actually shift the
+	   finger pointer in the arena block to free up more space in the current
+	   block for future allocations, allowing us to potentially cut down on
+	   wasteful calls to mmap() and friends in the future.
+
+	   Likewise with growing an allocation, this is typically a very simple
+	   alloc+memcpy(), however we can be smart in the case that we are growing
+	   the last allocation.  If we want to grow the last allocation we can
+	   actually first see if there is free-space remaining in the current block
+	   and simply move the finger pointer avoiding any unneccesary memory
+	   wastage.  Not only this but if we don’t have enough space in the current
+	   block we can attempt to resize the block using mremap() if we’re on
+	   Linux. */
