+ * Heap policy that returns a heap with a free list of objects
+ * of `max_size = max(Sizes...)` on top an underlying `Heap`.  Note
+ * these two properties of the resulting heap:
+ *
+ * - Allocating an object that is bigger than `max_size` may trigger
+ *   *undefined behavior*.
+ *
+ * - Allocating an object of size less than `max_size` still
+ *   returns an object of `max_size`.
+ *
+ * Basically, this heap will always return objects of `max_size`.
+ * When an object is freed, it does not directly invoke `std::free`,
+ * but it keeps the object in a global linked list instead.  When a
+ * new object is requested, it does not need to call `std::malloc` but
+ * it can directly pop and return the other object from the global
+ * list, a much faster operation.
+ *
+ * This actually creates a hierarchy with two free lists:
+ *
+ * - A `thread_local` free list is used first.  It does not need any
+ *   kind of synchronization and is very fast.  When the thread
+ *   finishes, its contents are returned to the next free list.
+ *
+ * - A global free list using lock-free access via atomics.
+ *
+ * @tparam Heap Heap to be used when the free list is empty.
+ *
+ * @rst
+ *
+ * .. tip:: For many applications that use immutable data structures
+ *    significantly, this is actually the best heap policy, and it
+ *    might become the default in the future.
+ *
+ *    Note that most our data structures internally use trees with the
+ *    same big branching factors.  This means that all *vectors*,
+ *    *maps*, etc. can just allocate elements from the same free-list
+ *    optimized heap.  Not only does this lowers the allocation time,
+ *    but also makes up for more efficient *cache utilization*.  When
+ *    a new node is needed, there are high chances the allocator will
+ *    return a node that was just accessed.  When batches of immutable
+ *    updates are made, this can make a significant difference.
