// deallocated before A.  This is *guaranteed* if you use local buffer
// exclusively through the OCTAVE_LOCAL_BUFFER macro, because the C++
// standard requires that explicit local objects be destroyed in
// reverse order of declaration.  Therefore, we can avoid memory
// fragmentation by allocating fairly large chunks of memory and
// serving local buffers from them in a stack-like manner.  The first
