In my code, I use the term allocator for policies that mirror the Loki
singleton creator policies. For example, my dynamic_allocator class
maps almost directly to Alexandrescu's CreateUsingNew policy. It has
been suggested that allocator is a misleading term, because users will
think that such classes were meant to work with the allocator policy
used in the standard containers. Is the term allocator really that
misleading? Should I make the massive change in my code to refer to
these classes as creators?
