// Purpose:     Basic class for memory allocation wizards.
//              Defines  the  interface  for devising  different  allocators
//              firstly to be used  by collections of NCollection, though it
//              it is not  deferred. It allocates/frees  the memory  through
//              Standard procedures, thus it is  unnecessary (and  sometimes
//              injurious) to have  more than one such  allocator.  To avoid
//              creation  of multiple  objects the  constructors  were  maid
//              inaccessible.  To  create the  BaseAllocator use  the method
//              CommonBaseAllocator.
//              Note that this object is managed by Handle.
