Looking at memory pools. It looks like they are a fixed size and cannot be
changed. Correct?

Assuming my reading is correct, is there interest in adding
dynamically-sized memory pools? I would envision these memory pools having
fixed-sized elements, as they do today, but resizing the number of
fixed-sized elements, within some limits, as needed. Good? Bad?

Thanks,
Mike
