Authors:Zahary Karadjov

This module provides utilities for reserving a portions of the address space of a program without consuming physical memory. It can be used to implement a dynamically resizable buffer that is guaranteed to remain in the same memory location. The buffer will be able to grow up to the size of the initially reserved portion of the address space.

Unstable API.
