In 1986, under lattice 3.03, i admired their clever design and used them all
the time. They are neat.  In fact a #defined malloc to be an AllocRemember.
   When LC 4.0 came along, it appeared that their malloc called AllocRemember,
and so i stopped #defining things. When Arp came along i started using 
ArpAlloc. 
   AllocRemember and friends are useful if your storage consists of many 
heaps, as that is essentially what they buy you (i.e. mark/restore but on 
a heap of your choice). But generally i think most people allocate and free
discrete things, and for this they are less useful.
