/**

Allocator that uses stack allocation for up to $(D stackSize) bytes and
then falls back to $(D Allocator). Defined as:

----
alias StackFront(size_t stackSize, Allocator) =
    FallbackAllocator!(
        InSituRegion!(stackSize, Allocator.alignment,
            hasMember!(Allocator, "deallocate")
                ? Yes.defineDeallocate
                : No.defineDeallocate),
        Allocator);
----

Choosing `stackSize` is as always a compromise. Too small a size exhausts the
stack storage after a few allocations, after which there are no gains over the
backup allocator. Too large a size increases the stack consumed by the thread
and may end up worse off because it explores cold portions of the stack.
