    A "Dynamically Sized Arena" memory model where if you overflow your memory arena, the subroutine crashes out and automatically tries again with a bigger arena. Turns any O(f(n)) computation into an O(f(n*log(n)) computation.

    In practice I earnestly think this would be pretty fast. But you'd have to get really good at isolating or reversing the subroutine's side effects/transaction rollback.

    #munk probably needs to have transaction rollback anyway, so I can't rule this out.
