- std.containers existed before the allocators
- std.experimental.allocator
    * is in a ["freezed" 
state](https://forum.dlang.org/post/730a99d2-1043-19b7-551a-c6f57
90f422 erdani.org). it was asked not to use
      anymore
    * is experimental, so you cannot make non-experimental part
      of the library depends on it

Alternatively you can use [emsi 
containers](https://code.dlang.org/packages/emsi_containers), 
which are based on the allocators.

Right now it is not passing its test suite.

Amin Yahyaabadi has recently been very good with the help of WebFreak 
and replaced the testsuite from Travis to Github Actions.

However it is failing due to needing to update stdx-allocator and a bug 
with the unrolled linked list.
