[TCLCORE] Seeking USE_TCLALLOC users

[Donald G P. <don...@ni...>]

As mentioned in Tcl Bug 2557696, I believe the memory allocation
routines enabled when Tcl sources are built with the USE_TCLALLOC
directive have some problems.  I think there are 64-bit issues and
argument overflow checking issues.  I've been correcting such things
in other allocators that I know get used.

I'd rather not waste time fixing the USE_TCLALLOC allocators if it
no longer has any users.  I'd rather just purge the dead code.  I
would do this only on the HEAD sources.

So here's the call.  Is anyone making any use of a USE_TCLALLOC build
of Tcl?  Can anyone report successful test or use of it for any
productive purpose in the last year or two?
