Description
I've tried the Visual Studio memory profiler with an application using mimalloc as an allocator, but the profiler cannot track the memory allocations. However, it should be possible, as there are `__declspec(allocator)` annotations in the source code. Any Ideas?
And yes, the profiler works correctly when I compile the app without mimalloc.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Visual Studio memory-profiler behavior with the application compiled with and without mimalloc. Investigate whether the __declspec(allocator) annotations in the source are recognized in the mimalloc build; done means allocations are trackable when mimalloc is enabled.
