Greg,
What you are doing here is to mix two (presumably...) orthogonal aspects, in that you bake in the allocation policy in the vector interface.
In fact, a "static allocator" to be used in cases like std::vector was discussed at length on this list a year ago (or was it two years?)
Yeah, an allocator with some internal storage that falls back to the heap when it's exausted would allow std::vector's to essentially use the "small string optimization."
