/**
 * This abstract class implements a simple segregated free list.<p>
 *
 * See: Wilson, Johnstone, Neely and Boles "Dynamic Storage
 * Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", IWMM 1995, for an
 * overview of free list allocation and the various implementation
 * strategies, including segregated free lists.<p>
 *
 * We maintain a number of size classes, each size class having a free
 * list of available objects of that size (the list may be empty).  We
 * call the storage elements "cells".  Cells reside within chunks of
 * memory called "blocks".  All cells in a given block are of the same
 * size (i.e. blocks are homogeneous with respect to size class).
 * Each block maintains its own free list (free cells within that
 * block).  For each size class a list of blocks is maintained, one of
 * which will serve the role of the current free list.  When the free
 * list on the current block is exhausted, the next block for that
 * size class becomes the current block and its free list is used.  If
 * there are no more blocks the a new block is allocated.<p>
