    * Cleanup
    *
    * Cleanups are performed in the reverse order they were registered.  That is:
  - * Last In, First Out.
  + * Last In, First Out.  A cleanup function can safely allocate memory from
  + * the pool that is being cleaned up. It can also safely register additional
  + * cleanups which will be run LIFO, directly after the current cleanup
  + * terminates.  Cleanups have to take caution in calling functions that
  + * create subpools. Subpools, created during cleanup will NOT automatically
  + * be cleaned up.  In other words, cleanups are to clean up after themselves.
