Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using allocated system memory, we can avoid wasted use if we require that all memory we allocate is written to. (It might in fact turn out that we don't want this, or want things to be written to at-least once, or something.)
Describe the solution you'd like
Nonetheless, the feature requested is some kind of API like destination arrays where allocated memory is used only by some Memory a %1-> () function which is passed along to some HOF. The bottom line is you should not be able to allocate memory that you never use and free it.
