Dunno why you don't have a diffstat, to make it a bit more impressive
(the --cover-letter option to get send-email or git format will create a
diffstat into your 0/17 mail):

That is, in spite of 200+ lines added to memory.[ch], you still managed
to let the series have a net reduction of nearly 200 lines to the
overall code base by shaving redundant code elsewhere, all while making
the usage pattern safer :)
