My usual example - object allocation into a specific
shared memory arena.  C++ lets me create objects in
a given space on a per-object basis.  This is handy
when you want to share the data amoung different
processors.  It was little more than derive a new
class with the new allocator, and put a few mutexes
so the client tasks wait for updates.

That's something I've need, oh, once every five years,
so I mostly stick with Python :)
