* - the elements are small (many fit on one page),
* - the platform has an atomic compare-and-swap instruction
* - the compiler supports it via __sync_val_compare_and_swap
*
* Implementation parameters:
* - once an element is allocated, it stays allocated and at the same place
* - there is no deleting elements or moving elements around
* - we are not coordinating access to elements, only providing pointers to them
* - new elements are allocated upwards, not arbitrarily (like file descriptors on Unix)
* - meant for long-running processes, destruction is provided only as an afterthought for completeness
