Ron Gomes reports that it may look useful but it ain't: too many assumptions are made that are incompatible with the idea of feeding ialloc a chunk of storage you aren't using anymore and expecting malloc to use it. It is clearly intended only for internal use by malloc(), and it has been rendered static to restrict it to this role.
