+ * The clar allocator uses a tagging mechanism for pointers that
+ * prepends the actual pointer's number bytes as `size_t`.
+ *
+ * First, this is required in order to be able to implement
+ * proper bookkeeping of allocated bytes in both `free` and
+ * `realloc`.
+ *
+ * Second, it may also be able to spot bugs that are
+ * otherwise hard to grasp, as the returned pointer cannot be
+ * free'd directly via free(3P). Instead, one is forced to use
+ * the tandem of `cl__malloc` and `cl__free`, as otherwise the
+ * code is going to crash hard. This is considered to be a
+ * feature, as it helps e.g. in finding cases where by accident
+ * malloc(3P) and free(3P) were used instead of git__malloc and
+ * git__free, respectively.
+ *
+ * The downside is obviously that each allocation grows by
+ * sizeof(size_t) bytes. As the allocator is for testing purposes
+ * only, this tradeoff is considered to be perfectly fine,
+ * though.
