Yeah, I’ve been following that thread. The storage idea is interesting but I don’t think it’s really necessary. The main thing it would enable is inline allocators that can be stored inside the collection, as opposed to the collection storing a reference to the stack allocation. The cases where that’s necessary, one can use the stackvec or arrayvec crates, which are more optimized than a generic inline allocator would be anyhow.
